otherwise entitled to preference over existing Partnership Interests) as shall be determined by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the approval of any Limited Partner or any other Person, and set forth in a written
document thereafter attached to and made an exhibit to this Agreement, which exhibit shall be an amendment to this Agreement and shall be incorporated herein by this reference (each, a “Partnership Unit Designation”). Without

series of Partnership Interests; (b) the right of each such class or series of Partnership Interests to share (on a pari passu, junior or preferred basis) in Partnership distributions; (c) the rights of each such class or series of
Partnership Interests upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; (d) the voting rights, if any, of each such class or series of Partnership Interests; and (e) the conversion, redemption or exchange rights applicable to each such

Special Limited Partner. No additional Partnership Units shall be issued to the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner unless (i) the additional Partnership Units are issued to all Partners holding Partnership Units of a specified
class or series in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests in the Partnership Units of such class or series, (ii) (a) the additional Partnership Units are (x) Partnership Common Units issued in connection with an issuance
of REIT Shares, or (y) Partnership Equivalent Units (other than Partnership Common Units) issued in connection with an issuance of Preferred Shares, New Securities or other interests in the Special Limited Partner (other than REIT Shares), with
corresponding economic terms, and (b) the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner (as the case may be) contributes directly or indirectly to the Partnership the cash proceeds (net of its expenses relating to such issuance) or other
consideration received in connection with the issuance of such REIT Shares, Preferred Shares, New Securities or other interests in the Special Limited Partner, (iii) the additional Partnership Units are issued upon the conversion, redemption or
exchange of Debt, Partnership Units or other securities issued by the Partnership or (iv) the additional Partnership Units are issued pursuant to Section 4.3.B, Section 4.3.D, Section 4.4, Section 4.5 or Section 4.7.

 C. No Preemptive Rights. Except as specified in Section 4.2.B(i) hereof or as provided in a Partnership Unit Designation, no
Person, including, without limitation, any Partner or Assignee, shall have any preemptive, preferential, participation or similar right or rights to subscribe for or acquire any Partnership Interest.

 Section 4.3 Additional Funds and Capital Contributions. 

A. General. The General Partner may, at any time and from time to time, determine that the Partnership requires additional funds
(“Additional Funds”) for the acquisition or development of additional Properties, for the redemption of Partnership Interests or for such other purposes as the General Partner may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion.
Additional Funds may be obtained by the Partnership, at the election of the General Partner, in any manner provided in, and in accordance with, the terms of this Section 4.3 without the approval of any Limited Partner or any other Person. 

B. Additional Capital Contributions. The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may obtain any Additional Funds by accepting
Capital Contributions from any Partners or other Persons. In connection with any such Capital Contribution (of cash or property), the General Partner is hereby authorized, in its sole and absolute discretion, to cause the Partnership from time to
time to issue additional Partnership Interests (as set forth in Section 4.2 above) in consideration therefor and the Percentage Interests of the General Partner and the Limited Partners shall be adjusted to reflect the issuance of such
additional Partnership Interests. 
 C. Loans. The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion on behalf of the Partnership,
may obtain any Additional Funds by causing the Partnership to incur Debt to any Person (including the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner) upon such terms as the General Partner determines appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion,
including making such Debt convertible, redeemable or exchangeable for Partnership Units or REIT Shares; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not incur any such Debt if any Limited Partner would be personally liable for the
repayment of such Debt (unless such Limited Partner otherwise agrees). 
 D. Issuance of Securities by the Special Limited Partner.
The Special Limited Partner shall not issue any additional REIT Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities unless the Special Limited Partner contributes the cash proceeds or other consideration received from the issuance of such additional REIT
Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities (as the case may be) and from the exercise of the rights contained in any such additional Capital Shares or New Securities directly or indirectly to the Partnership in exchange for (x) in the case of an
issuance of REIT Shares, Partnership Common Units, or (y) in the case of an issuance of Capital Shares or New Securities, Partnership Equivalent Units; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Limited

Shares or New Securities to all of the holders of REIT Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities (as the case may be), (c) upon a conversion, redemption or exchange of Capital Shares, (d) upon a conversion, redemption, exchange or exercise
of New Securities, or (e) in connection with an acquisition of Partnership Interests or a property or other asset to be owned, directly or indirectly, by the Special Limited Partner. In the event of any issuance of additional REIT Shares,
Capital Shares or New Securities by the Special Limited Partner, and the contribution to the Partnership, directly or indirectly, by the Special Limited Partner, of the cash proceeds or other consideration received from such issuance (or property
acquired with such proceeds), if any, if the cash proceeds actually received by the Special Limited Partner are less than the gross proceeds of such issuance as a result of any underwriter’s discount or other expenses paid or incurred in
connection with such issuance, then the Special Limited Partner shall be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in the amount equal to the sum of the cash proceeds of such issuance plus the amount of


  
 23 








 
such underwriter’s discount and other expenses paid by the Special Limited Partner (which discount and expense shall be treated as an expense for the benefit of the Partnership for purposes
of Section 7.4). In the event that the Special Limited Partner issues any additional REIT Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities and contributes, directly or indirectly, the cash proceeds or other consideration received from the issuance
thereof to the Partnership, the Partnership is expressly authorized to issue a number of Partnership Common Units or Partnership Equivalent Units to the Special Limited Partner equal to the number of REIT Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities so
issued, divided by the REIT Share Adjustment Factor then in effect, in accordance with this Section 4.3.D without any further act, approval or vote of any Partner or any other Persons. 

Section 4.4 Stock Option Plans and Equity Plans. 

A. Future Stock Incentive Plans. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or applied to preclude or restrain the General Partner or
the Special Limited Partner from adopting, modifying or terminating stock incentive plans for the benefit of employees, directors or other business associates of the General Partner, the Special Limited Partner, the Partnership or any of their
Affiliates. The General Partner may implement such plans and any actions taken under such plans (such as the grant or exercise of options to acquire REIT Shares, or the issuance of restricted or unrestricted REIT Shares), whether taken with respect
to or by an employee or other service provider of the Special Limited Partner, the Partnership or its Subsidiaries, in a manner reasonably determined by the General Partner, which may be set forth in plan implementation guidelines that the General
Partner may adopt or amend from time to time. The Partners acknowledge and agree that, in the event that any such plan or implementation guideline is adopted, modified or terminated by the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner, amendments
to this Agreement may become necessary or advisable and that any such amendments requested by the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner shall not require any Consent or approval by the Limited Partners or any other Person. 

B. Issuance of Partnership Units; REIT Shares and New Securities. The Partnership is expressly authorized to issue Partnership Units
and the Special Limited Partner is expressly authorized to issue REIT Shares or New Securities as contemplated by this Section 4.4 or any plan or plan implementation guidelines referred to in paragraph A above without any further act, approval
or vote of any Partner or any other Persons. 
 Section 4.5 Dividend Reinvestment Plan, Cash Option Purchase Plan, Stock Incentive Plan or Other
Plan. 
 Except as may otherwise be provided in this Article 4, all amounts received or deemed received by the Special
Limited Partner in respect of any dividend reinvestment plan, cash option purchase plan, stock incentive or other stock or subscription plan or agreement, either (a) shall be utilized by the Special Limited Partner to effect purchases
(including open market purchases) of REIT Shares, or (b) if the Special Limited Partner elects instead to issue new REIT Shares with respect to such amounts, shall be contributed by the Special Limited Partner to the Partnership in exchange for
additional Partnership Common Units. Upon such contribution, the Partnership will issue to the Special Limited Partner a number of Partnership Common Units equal to the quotient of (i) the new REIT Shares so issued, divided by (ii) the
REIT Share Adjustment Factor then in effect. The Partnership is expressly authorized to issue Partnership Common Units as contemplated by this Section 4.5 without any further act, approval or vote of any Partner or any other Persons.

No Partner shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution or on such Partner’s Capital Account. Except as provided herein or
by law, no Partner shall have any right to demand or receive the return of its Capital Contribution from the Partnership. 
 Section 4.7 Conversion
or Redemption of REIT Shares and Capital Shares. 
 A. Conversion of Capital Shares. If, at any time, any of the Capital
Shares are converted into REIT Shares, in whole or in part, then a number of Partnership Units held by the Special Limited Partner with preferences, conversion and other rights (other than redemption and voting rights), restrictions (other than
restrictions on transfer), rights and limitations as to dividends and other distributions and qualifications that are substantially the same as the preferences, conversion and other rights (other than redemption and voting rights), restrictions
(other than restrictions on transfer), rights and limitations as to dividends and other distributions and qualifications of such Capital Shares (“Partnership Equivalent Units”) (for the avoidance of doubt, Partnership Equivalent
Units need not have voting rights, redemption rights or restrictions on transfer that are substantially equivalent to such Capital Shares) equal to the number of Capital Shares so converted shall automatically be converted into a number of
Partnership Common Units equal to the quotient of (i) the number of REIT Shares issued upon such conversion divided by (ii) the REIT Share Adjustment Factor then in effect, and the Percentage Interests of the General Partner and the
Limited Partners shall be adjusted to reflect such conversion. 
 B. Redemption of Capital Shares or REIT Shares. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 7.4.C, if, at any time, any Capital Shares are redeemed or otherwise repurchased (whether by exercise of a put or call, automatically or by means of another arrangement) by the Special Limited Partner for cash, immediately
prior to such redemption or repurchase of Capital Shares, an equal number of the corresponding Partnership Equivalent Units held by the Special Limited Partner shall automatically be redeemed by the Partnership upon the same terms and for the same
price per Partnership Equivalent Unit as such Capital Shares are redeemed or repurchased. If, at any time, any REIT Shares are forfeited or redeemed or otherwise repurchased or reacquired by the Special Limited Partner, immediately prior to such
forfeiture, redemption, reacquisition or repurchase of REIT Shares, a number of Partnership Common Units held by the Special Limited Partner equal to the quotient of (i) the REIT Shares so forfeited, redeemed, reacquired or repurchased, divided
by (ii) the REIT Share Adjustment Factor then in effect, shall automatically be redeemed by the Partnership, such redemption to be upon the same terms and for the same price per Partnership Common Unit (after giving effect to application of the
REIT Share Adjustment Factor) as such REIT Shares are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise reacquired, or, in the case of a forfeiture of REIT Shares, shall automatically be forfeited by the Special Limited Partner for no consideration. 

Section 4.8 Other Contribution Provisions. 

In the event that any Partner is admitted to the Partnership and is given a Capital Account in exchange for services rendered to the
Partnership, such transaction shall be treated by the Partnership and the affected Partner as if the Partnership had compensated such Partner in cash and such Partner had contributed the cash that the Partner would have received to the capital of
the Partnership. In addition, with the Consent of the General Partner, one or more Partners (including the Special Limited Partner) may enter into contribution agreements with the Partnership which have the effect of providing a guarantee of certain
obligations of the Partnership (and/or a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Partnership).

 ARTICLE 5 

DISTRIBUTIONS 
 Section 5.1
Requirement and Characterization of Distributions. 
 Subject to the rights of any Holder of any Partnership Interest set
forth in a Partnership Unit Designation, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to distribute such amounts, at such times, as the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine to the Holders as of any Partnership Record
Date: (i) first, with respect to any Partnership Units that are entitled to any preference in distribution, in accordance with the rights of Holders of such class(es) of Partnership Units (and, within each such class, among the Holders of each
such class, pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests of such class on such Partnership Record Date); and (ii) second, with respect to any Partnership Units that are not entitled to any preference in distribution, in
accordance with the rights of Holders of such class(es) of Partnership Units, as applicable (and, within each such class, among the Holders of each such class, pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests of such class on such
Partnership Record Date). Distributions payable with respect to any Partnership Units, other than any Partnership Units issued to the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner in connection with the issuance of REIT Shares by the Special
Limited Partner, that were not outstanding during the entire quarterly period in respect of which any distribution is made shall be prorated based on the portion of the period that such Partnership Units were outstanding. The General Partner shall
make such reasonable efforts, as determined by it in its sole and absolute discretion and consistent with the Special Limited Partner’s qualification as a REIT, to cause the Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts to enable the Special
Limited Partner, for so long as the Special Limited Partner has determined to qualify as a REIT, to pay stockholder dividends that will (a) satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a REIT under the Code and Regulations (the “REIT
Requirements”) and (b) except to the extent otherwise determined by the Special Limited Partner, eliminate any U.S. federal income or excise tax liability of the Special Limited Partner. 

Section 5.2 Distributions in Kind. 

Except as expressly provided herein, no right is given to any Holder to demand and receive property other than cash as provided in this
Agreement. The General Partner may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, to cause the Partnership to make a distribution in kind of Partnership assets to the Holders, and such assets shall be distributed in such a fashion as to ensure that
the fair market value is distributed and allocated in accordance with Articles 5, 6 and 13 hereof; provided, however, that the General Partner shall not make a distribution in kind to any Holder unless the Holder has been given 90 days prior written
notice of such distribution. 
 Section 5.3 Amounts Withheld. 

All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any state, local or non-U.S. tax law
and Section 10.4 hereof with respect to any allocation, payment or distribution to any Holder shall be treated as amounts paid or distributed to such Holder pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof for all purposes under this Agreement. 

Section 5.4 Distributions upon Liquidation. 

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 5, net proceeds from a Terminating Capital Transaction, and any other amounts distributed
after the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, shall be distributed to the Holders in proportion to the Partnership Common Units and LTIP Units held by them; provided that (i) distributions to a Partner in respect of an LTIP Unit shall be limited
to the Partner’s Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to such LTIP Unit as of the date of liquidation (and after taking into account any allocations pursuant to the liquidation) and (ii) amounts that otherwise would have been
distributed to such LTIP Units shall be distributed to the Partners holding Partnership Common Units or LTIP Units in proportion to the Partnership Common Units and LTIP Units held by them (excluding for this purpose all LTIP Units that are not
eligible to participate in any further distributions as a result of the foregoing clause (i) of this Section 5.4). 

  
 26 








 Section 5.5 Distributions to Reflect Additional Partnership Units. 

In the event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Units pursuant to the provisions of Article 4 hereof, subject to the
rights of any Holder of any Partnership Interest set forth in a Partnership Unit Designation, the General Partner is hereby authorized to amend this Agreement as it determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, is necessary or desirable to
reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Units, including, without limitation, making preferential distributions to Holders of certain classes of Partnership Units, all without the consent of any Partner or any other Person. 

Section 5.6 Restricted Distributions. 

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the Partnership nor the General Partner, on behalf of the
Partnership, shall be required to make a distribution to any Holder if such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable law. 

ARTICLE 6 
 ALLOCATIONS

 Section 6.1 Timing and Amount of Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss. 

Net Income and Net Loss of the Partnership shall be determined and allocated with respect to each Partnership Year as of the end of each such
year, provided that the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, allocate Net Income and Net Loss for a shorter period as of the end of such period (and, for purposes of this Article 6, references to the term “Partnership
Year” may include such shorter periods). Except as otherwise provided in this Article 6, and subject to Section 11.6.C hereof, an allocation to a Holder of a share of Net Income or Net Loss shall be treated as an allocation of the
same share of each item of income, gain, loss or deduction that is taken into account in computing Net Income or Net Loss. 
 Section 6.2 Allocation
of Net Income and Net Loss. 
 A. Net Income. Except as otherwise provided herein, Operating Income and Liquidating Gain
of the Partnership for each fiscal year or other applicable period shall be allocated as follows: 
 (1) First, Operating
Income and Liquidating Gain shall be allocated to the General Partner to the extent the cumulative Operating Loss and Liquidating Loss allocated to the General Partner under subparagraph B(2) below exceeds the cumulative Operating Income and
Liquidating Gain allocated to the General Partner under this subparagraph A(1), provided that the allocation under this subparagraph shall first be made out of Operating Income to the extent of available Operating Income as of the time any
allocation is being made, and thereafter to the extent of any available Liquidating Gain as of such time; 
 (2) (i) Next,
Liquidating Gains shall first be allocated to the Partners holding LTIP Units until the Economic Capital Account Balances of such Partners, to the extent attributable to their ownership of LTIP Units, are equal to (1) the Common Unit Economic
Balance, multiplied by (2) the number of their LTIP Units (with respect to each Partner holding LTIP Units, the “Target Balance”). For the avoidance of doubt, Liquidating Gains allocated with respect to an LTIP Unit pursuant to
this subparagraph shall reduce (but not below zero) the Book-Up 

  
 27 








 
Target for such LTIP Unit. Any such allocations shall be made among the holders of LTIP Units in proportion to the aggregate amounts required to be allocated to each under this subparagraph. 

(ii) Liquidating Gain allocated to a Partner under this subparagraph will be attributed to specific LTIP Units of such Partner
for purposes of determining (1) allocations under this Article VI, (2) the effect of the forfeiture or conversion of specific LTIP Units on such Partner’s Capital Account and (3) the ability of such Partner to convert specific
LTIP Units into Partnership Common Units. Such Liquidating Gain will generally be attributed in the following order: (1) first, to Vested LTIP Units held for more than two years, (2) second, to Vested LTIP Units held for two years or less,
(3) third, to Unvested LTIP Units that have remaining vesting conditions that only require continued employment or service to the Special Limited Partner, the Partnership, the General Partner or their Affiliates for a certain period of time
(with such Liquidating Gains being attributed in order of vesting from soonest vesting to latest vesting), and (4) fourth, to other Unvested LTIP Units (with such Liquidating Gains being attributed in order of issuance from earliest issued to
latest issued). Within each category, Liquidating Gain will be allocated seriatim (i.e., entirely to the first unit in a set, then entirely to the next unit in the set, and so on, until a full allocation is made to the last unit in the set) in the
order of smallest Book-Up Target to largest Book-Up Target. 

(iii) After giving effect to the special allocations set forth above, if, due to distributions with respect to Partnership
Common Units in which the LTIP Units do not participate, forfeitures or otherwise, the Economic Capital Account Balance of any Partner attributable to such Partner’s LTIP Units exceeds the Target Balance, then Liquidating Losses shall be
allocated to such Partner to eliminate the disparity; provided, however, that if Liquidating Losses are insufficient to completely eliminate all such disparities, such losses shall be allocated among LTIP Units in a manner reasonably determined by
the General Partner. 
 (iv) The parties agree that the intent of this subparagraph is (1) to the extent possible to
make the liquidation value associated with each LTIP Unit the same as the liquidation value of a Partnership Common Unit, and (2) to allow conversion of a LTIP Unit (assuming it is a Vested LTIP Unit) when sufficient Liquidating Gains have been
allocated to such LTIP Unit pursuant to clause (i) above or Net Loss, Operating Loss and/or Liquidating Loss have been allocated to Partnership Common Units under subparagraph 6.2.B(1) so that either an LTIP Unit’s initial Book-Up Target has been reduced to zero or the parity described in subclause (1) above has been achieved. The General Partner shall be permitted to interpret this Section and to amend this Agreement to the
extent necessary and consistent with this intention. 
 (v) If a Partner forfeits any LTIP Units to which Liquidating Gain
has previously been allocated under clause (i) above, (1) the portion of such Partner’s Capital Account attributable to such Liquidating Gain allocated to such forfeited LTIP Units will be
re-allocated to that Partner’s remaining LTIP Units that were outstanding on the date of the initial allocation of such Liquidating Gain, using a methodology similar to that described in clause
(ii) above as reasonably determined by the General Partner, to the extent necessary to cause such Partner’s Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to each such LTIP Unit to equal the Common Unit Economic Balance and (2) such
Partner’s Capital Account will be reduced by the amount of any such Liquidating Gain not re-allocated pursuant to the foregoing subclause (1) above. Any such reductions in Capital Accounts pursuant
to the foregoing subclause (2) shall be reallocated to the Partnership Common Units and LTIP Units pro rata, provided that the General Partner shall have the discretion to limit reallocations to LTIP Units in any manner the General Partner
reasonably determines is necessary to prevent such LTIP Units from participating in Liquidating Gains realized prior to the issuance of such LTIP Units; and 

(3) Thereafter, Operating Income to the holders of Partnership Common Units and LTIP Units pro rata in accordance with their
Percentage Interests and any remaining Liquidating Gain after the special allocation provided in subparagraph 2 to the holders of Partnership Common Units and LTIP Units in proportion to the Partnership Common Units and LTIP Units held by such
Partners. 

  
 28 








 B. Net Loss. Except as otherwise provided herein, Operating Loss and Liquidating Loss of
the Partnership for each fiscal year or other applicable period shall be allocated as follows: 
 (1) Subject to the prior
application of clause 6.2.A(2)(iii), first, Operating Loss shall be allocated with respect to each Partnership Common Unit and LTIP Unit in proportion to and to the extent that Operating Income was allocated with respect to such Unit in previous
periods in excess of the sum of Operating Loss allocated with respect to such Unit in previous periods and distributions made with respect to such Unit in all periods; 

(2) Subject to the prior application of clause 6.2.A(2)(iii), first, Operating Loss shall be allocated to the holders of
Partnership Common Units and Eligible LTIP Units in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, and Liquidating Loss shall be allocated to the holders of Partnership Common Units and Eligible LTIP Units in proportion to the Partnership
Common Units and Eligible LTIP Units held by such Partners; provided that the Net Loss allocated in respect of a Partnership Common Unit and LTIP Unit pursuant to this subparagraph 2 shall not exceed the maximum amount of Net Loss that could be
allocated in respect of such Unit without causing a holder of such Unit to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit determined as if the holder held only that Unit, provided further that (A) in the event the first proviso of this subparagraph 2
applies to limit an allocation of Net Loss in respect of an LTIP Unit, the Net Loss allocable to the LTIP Unit shall first be made out of Operating Loss to the extent the cumulative Operating Income in excess of cumulative Operating Loss allocated
to that LTIP Unit exceeds cumulative distributions in respect of that LTIP Unit, and any remaining allocation of Net Loss to that LTIP Unit shall be made proportionately out of Operating Loss and Liquidating Loss, and (B) in the event the first
proviso of this subparagraph 2 applies to limit an allocation of Net Loss in respect of a Partnership Common Unit, the Net Loss allocable to the Partnership Common Unit shall be made proportionately out of Operating Loss and Liquidating Loss
remaining after the allocation of Net Loss in respect of LTIP Units as provided in clause (A); 
 (3) Thereafter, Operating
Loss and Liquidating Loss shall be allocated to the General Partner. 
 Section 6.3 Regulatory Allocation Provisions. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 6: 

A. Regulatory Allocations. 

(i) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations
Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.2 hereof, or any other provision of this Article 6, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership
Year, each Holder shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Holder’s share of the net 

  
 29 








 
decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, as determined under Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made
in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.3.A(i) is intended to qualify as a “minimum gain chargeback” within the meaning of Regulations
Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 
 (ii)
Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) or in Section 6.3.A(i) hereof, if there is a net decrease in Partner
Nonrecourse Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership Year, each Holder who has a share of the Partner Nonrecourse Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with
Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Holder’s share of
the net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous
sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations
Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.3.A(ii) is intended to qualify as a “chargeback of partner nonrecourse debt minimum
gain” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 

(iii) Nonrecourse Deductions and Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Nonrecourse Deductions for any Partnership Year
shall be specially allocated to the Holders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Partnership Year shall be specially allocated to the Holder(s) who bears the economic risk of loss with
respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). 

(iv) Qualified Income Offset. If any Holder unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated, in accordance with Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), to such Holder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by such Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Holder as quickly as possible,
provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.3.A(iv) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Holder would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided in this Article 6 have been
tentatively made as if this Section 6.3.A(iv) were not in the Agreement. It is intended that this Section 6.3.A(iv) qualify and be construed as a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 

(v) Special Allocation to LTIP Units. Items of gross income of the Partnership shall be specially allocated to a Partner
in an amount necessary to eliminate any Adjusted Capital Account Deficit attributable to an LTIP Unit of such Partner. Any such allocations shall be made first from items of income constituting Operating Income or Operating Loss, and only thereafter
from items of income constituting Liquidating Gains or Liquidating Losses. For purposes of determining the amount of gross income that must be specially allocated under this Section, the Partnership shall initially allocate all items amongst the
Partners in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and only if a Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after such initial allocation shall a special allocation be made pursuant to this Section and only in an amount equal to the
excess gross income allocation needed to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit taking into account the remaining Net Income that will be allocated to such Partner after applying the other provisions of this Article 6. 

  
 30 








 (vi) Special Allocation upon Conversion of LTIP Units. After the
conversion of an LTIP Unit into a Partnership Common Unit (or fraction thereof), the Partnership will specially allocate Liquidating Gain and Liquidating Loss to the Partners until and in a manner that causes, as promptly as practicable, the portion
of such Partner’s Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to the Partnership Common Unit (or fraction thereof) received upon conversion to equal the Common Unit Economic Balance (or in the case where a fractional Partnership Common Unit
is received on conversion, the Common Unit Economic Balance multiplied by a fraction equal to the fraction of the Partnership Common Unit issued in the conversion). 

(vii) Gross Income Allocation. In the event that any Holder has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Partnership
Year that is in excess of the sum of (1) the amount (if any) that such Holder is obligated to restore to the Partnership upon complete liquidation of such Holder’s Partnership Interest (including, the Holder’s interest in outstanding
Partnership Preferred Units and other Partnership Units) and (2) the amount that such Holder is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) or the
penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Holder shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in
the amount of such excess to eliminate such deficit as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.3.A(vii) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Holder would have a deficit Capital Account in
excess of such sum after all other allocations provided in this Article 6 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.3.A(vii) and Section 6.3.A(vi) hereof were not in the Agreement. 

(viii) Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any
Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Holder in complete liquidation of its interest in the Partnership, the amount of
such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Holders in
accordance with their respective Percentage Interests in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Holder(s) to whom such distribution was made in the event that
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies. 
 (ix) Curative
Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 6.3.A(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (vii) and (viii) hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain regulatory requirements, including the
requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, the Regulatory Allocations
shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Holders so that to the extent possible without violating the requirements giving rise to the Regulatory Allocations, the net amount of such
allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Holder shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Holder if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. 

B. Allocation of Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities. For purposes of determining a Holder’s proportional share of the “excess
nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Holder’s respective interest in Partnership profits shall be equal to such Holder’s
Percentage Interest with respect to Partnership Common Units, except as otherwise determined by the General Partner. 

  
 31 








 Section 6.4 Tax Allocations. 

A. In General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.4, for U.S. income tax purposes under the Code and the Regulations,
each Partnership item of income, gain, loss and deduction (collectively, “Tax Items”) shall be allocated among the Holders in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated
pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.3 hereof. 
 B. Section 704(c) Allocations. Notwithstanding Section 6.4.A hereof, Tax Items
with respect to Property that is contributed to the Partnership with an initial Gross Asset Value that varies from its basis in the hands of the contributing Partner immediately preceding the date of contribution shall be allocated among the Holders
for U.S. income tax purposes pursuant to Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(c) so as to take into account such variation. The Partnership shall account for such variation under any method approved under Code
Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations as chosen by the General Partner. In the event that the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to subsection (b) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value”
(provided in Article 1 hereof), subsequent allocations of Tax Items with respect to such asset shall take account of the variation, if any, between the adjusted basis of such asset and its Gross Asset Value in a manner consistent with Code
Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations and using the method chosen by the General Partner. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.4.B are solely for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect,
or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Net Income, Net Loss, or any other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. 

Section 6.5 Allocations Upon Final Liquidation. 

With respect to the fiscal year in which the final liquidation of the Partnership occurs in accordance with Section 13.2 of the
Agreement, and notwithstanding any other provision of Sections 6.2, 6.3 or 6.4 hereof, items of Partnership income, gain, loss and deduction shall be specially allocated to the Partners in such amounts and priorities as are necessary so that the
positive capital accounts of the Partners shall, as closely as possible, equal the amounts that will be distributed to the Partners pursuant to Section 13.2. 

ARTICLE 7 
 MANAGEMENT
AND OPERATIONS OF BUSINESS 
 Section 7.1 Management. 

A. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, including any Partnership Unit Designation, all management powers over the
business and affairs of the Partnership are and shall be exclusively vested in the General Partner, and no Limited Partner, in its capacity as a Limited Partner, shall have any right to participate in or exercise control or management power over the
business and affairs of the Partnership (provided, however, that the Special Limited Partner, in its capacity as the sole member of the General Partner and not in its capacity as a limited partner of the Partnership, may have the power to direct the
actions of the General Partner with respect to the Partnership). No General Partner may be removed by the Partners, with or without cause, except with the Consent of the General Partner, which it may give or withhold in its sole and absolute
discretion. In addition to the powers now or hereafter granted a general partner of a limited partnership under applicable law or that are granted to the General Partner under any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner, subject to
the other 

  
 32 








 
provisions hereof including, without limitation, Section 3.2 and Section 7.3, and the rights of any Holder of any Partnership Interest set forth in a Partnership Unit Designation, shall
have full and exclusive power and authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, without the consent or approval of any Limited Partner, to do or authorize all things deemed necessary or desirable by it to conduct the business and affairs of the
Partnership and the General Partner, to exercise or direct the exercise of all of the powers of the Partnership under the Act and this Agreement and to effectuate the purposes of the Partnership including, without limitation: 

(1) the making of any expenditures, the lending or borrowing of money or selling of assets (including, without limitation,
making prepayments on loans and borrowing money to permit the Partnership to make distributions to the Holders in such amounts as will permit the Special Limited Partner (so long as the Special Limited Partner qualifies as a REIT) (a) to
prevent the imposition of any U.S. federal income tax on the Special Limited Partner (including, for this purpose, any excise tax pursuant to Code Section 4981), (b) to make distributions to its stockholders and (c) to make payments
to any taxing authority sufficient to permit the Special Limited Partner to maintain REIT status or otherwise to satisfy the REIT Requirements), the assumption or guarantee of, or other contracting for, indebtedness and other liabilities, the
issuance of evidences of indebtedness (including the securing of same by deed to secure debt, mortgage, deed of trust or other lien or encumbrance on the Partnership’s assets) and the incurring of any obligations that the General Partner deems
necessary for the conduct of the activities of the Partnership; 
 (2) the making of tax, regulatory and other filings, or
rendering of periodic or other reports to governmental or other agencies having jurisdiction over the business or assets of the Partnership; 

(3) the taking of any and all acts necessary or prudent to ensure that the Partnership will not be classified as a
“publicly traded partnership” under Code Section 7704; 
 (4) the acquisition, sale, transfer, exchange or
other disposition of any, all or substantially all of the assets (including the goodwill) of the Partnership (including, but not limited to, the exercise or grant of any conversion, option, privilege or subscription right or any other right
available in connection with any assets at any time held by the Partnership) or the merger, consolidation, reorganization or other combination of the Partnership with or into another entity; 

(5) the mortgage, pledge, encumbrance or hypothecation of any assets of the Partnership, the assignment of any assets of the
Partnership in trust for creditors or on the promise of the assignee to pay the debts of the Partnership, the use of the assets of the Partnership (including, without limitation, cash on hand) for any purpose consistent with the terms of this
Agreement and on any terms that the General Partner sees fit, including, without limitation, the financing of the operations and activities of the General Partner, the Partnership or any of the Partnership’s Subsidiaries, the lending of funds
to other Persons (including, without limitation, the General Partner and/or the Partnership’s Subsidiaries) and the repayment of obligations of the Partnership, its Subsidiaries and any other Person in which the Partnership has an equity
investment, and the making of capital contributions to and equity investments in the Partnership’s Subsidiaries; 
 (6)
the management, operation, leasing, landscaping, repair, alteration, demolition, replacement or improvement of any Property; 

  
 33 








 (7) the negotiation, execution and performance of any contracts, including leases
(including ground leases), easements, management agreements, rights of way and other property-related agreements, conveyances or other instruments that the General Partner considers useful or necessary to the conduct of the Partnership’s
operations or the implementation of the General Partner’s powers under this Agreement, including contracting with contractors, developers, consultants, governmental authorities, accountants, legal counsel, other professional advisors and other
agents and the payment of their expenses and compensation, as applicable, out of the Partnership’s assets; 
 (8) the
distribution of Partnership cash or other Partnership assets in accordance with this Agreement, the holding, management, investment and reinvestment of cash and other assets of the Partnership, and the collection and receipt of revenues, rents and
income of the Partnership; 
 (9) the selection and dismissal of employees of the Partnership (if any) or the General Partner
(if any) (including, without limitation, employees having titles or offices such as “president,” “vice president,” “secretary” and “treasurer”), and agents, outside attorneys, accountants, consultants and
contractors of the Partnership or the General Partner and the determination of their compensation and other terms of employment or hiring; 

(10) the maintenance of such insurance (including, without limitation, directors and officers insurance) for the benefit of the
Partnership and the Partners (including, without limitation, the Special Limited Partner) as the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate;

partnerships, limited liability companies, joint ventures or other relationships that it deems desirable (including, without limitation, the acquisition of interests in, and the contributions of property to, any Subsidiary and any other Person in
which the General Partner has an equity investment from time to time); provided, however, that, as long as the Special Limited Partner has determined to continue to qualify as a REIT, the Partnership will not engage in any such
formation, acquisition or contribution that would cause the Special Limited Partner to fail to qualify as a REIT; 
 (12) the
control of any matters affecting the rights and obligations of the Partnership, including the settlement, compromise, submission to arbitration or any other form of dispute resolution, or abandonment, of any claim, cause of action, liability, debt
or damages, due or owing to or from the Partnership, the commencement or defense of suits, legal proceedings, administrative proceedings, arbitrations or other forms of dispute resolution, and the representation of the Partnership in all suits or
legal proceedings, administrative proceedings, arbitrations or other forms of dispute resolution, the incurring of legal expense, and the indemnification of any Person against liabilities and contingencies to the extent permitted by law; 

(13) the undertaking of any action in connection with the Partnership’s direct or indirect investment in any Subsidiary or
any other Person (including, without limitation, the contribution or loan of funds by the Partnership to such Persons); 

(14) the determination of the fair market value of any Partnership property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of
valuation as the General Partner may adopt; provided, however, that such methods are otherwise consistent with the requirements of this Agreement; 

  
 34 








 (15) the enforcement of any rights against any Partner pursuant to
representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities relating to such Partner’s contribution of property or assets to the Partnership;

any applicable law, rule or regulation, and, for so long as the Special Limited Partner is the sole member of the General Partner and in the absence of any specific corporate action on the part of the Special Limited Partner, or any specific limited
liability company action of the General Partner, to the contrary, the taking of any such action or the execution of any such document or writing by an officer of the Special Limited Partner, in the name and on behalf of the Special Limited Partner,
in the Special Limited Partner’s capacity as the sole member of the General Partner, in the General Partner’s capacity as the general partner of the Partnership, shall conclusively evidence (1) the approval thereof by the General

Partner may cause the Partnership to obtain and maintain (i) casualty, liability and other insurance on the Properties and (ii) liability insurance for the Indemnitees hereunder.

E. In exercising its authority under this Agreement, the General Partner may, but shall be under no obligation to (except as otherwise
provided by this Agreement with respect to the qualification of the Special Limited Partner as a REIT), take into account the tax consequences to any Partner of any action taken (or not taken) by it. The General Partner, the Special Limited Partner
and the Partnership shall not have liability to a Limited Partner under any circumstances as a result of any income tax liability incurred by such Limited Partner as a result of an action (or inaction) by the General Partner pursuant to its
authority under this Agreement. 
 F. The determination as to any matter relating to the business and affairs of the Partnership, including
the following matters, made by or at the direction of the General Partner consistent with this Agreement and the Act, shall be final and conclusive and shall be binding upon the Partnership and every Limited Partner and shall not constitute a breach

redemption of Partnership Common Units; the amount and timing of any distribution; the amount, purpose, time of creation, increase or decrease, alteration or cancellation of any reserves or charges and the propriety thereof (whether or not any

conversion or other rights, voting powers or rights, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of any class or series of Partnership Interest; the fair value, or any sale, bid or

General Partner. 
 Section 7.2 Certificate of Limited Partnership. 

To the extent that such action is determined by the General Partner to be reasonable and necessary or appropriate, the General Partner shall
file amendments to and restatements of the Certificate and do all the things to maintain the Partnership as a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) under the laws of the State of Delaware and
each other state, the District of Columbia or any other jurisdiction, in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property. Subject to the terms of Section 8.5.A hereof, the General Partner shall not be required, before or after
filing, to deliver or mail a copy of the Certificate or any amendment thereto to any Limited Partner. The General Partner shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be filed such other certificates or documents as may be reasonable and necessary
or appropriate for the formation, continuation, qualification and operation of a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability to the extent provided by applicable law) in the State of Delaware and any
other state, or the District of Columbia or other jurisdiction, in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property. 
 Section 7.3
Restrictions on General Partner’s Authority. 
 A. The General Partner may not take any action in
contravention of an express prohibition or limitation of this Agreement without the Consent of the Limited Partners, and may not, without limitation perform any act that would subject a Limited Partner to liability as a general partner in any
jurisdiction in which the Partnership is formed or does business or any other liability except as provided herein or under the Act. 
 B.
Except as provided in Section 7.3.C hereof, the General Partner shall not, without the prior Consent of the Limited Partners, amend, modify or terminate this Agreement. 

C. Notwithstanding Sections 7.3.B and 14.2 hereof but subject to the rights of any Holder of any Partnership Interest set forth in a
Partnership Unit Designation, the General Partner shall have the power, without the consent of any Limited Partner or other Person, to amend this Agreement as may be required to facilitate or implement any of the following purposes: 

(1) to add to the obligations of the General Partner or surrender any right or power granted to the General Partner or any
Affiliate of the General Partner for the benefit of the Limited Partners; 
 (2) to reflect the admission, substitution or
withdrawal of Partners, a Transfer or any other redemption, conversion or purchase of any Partnership Interest, the termination of the 

  
 37 








 
Partnership in accordance with this Agreement and to update the books and records of the Partnership in connection with such admission, substitution, withdrawal, Transfer, adjustment or other
event; 
 (3) to reflect a change that is of an inconsequential nature or does not adversely affect the Limited Partners in
any material respect, or to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision in this Agreement not inconsistent with law or with other provisions, or make other changes with respect to matters arising under this Agreement that will not be
inconsistent with law or with the provisions of this Agreement; 
 (4) to set forth or amend the designations, preferences,
conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of the Holders of any additional Partnership Interests issued pursuant to Article 4, including as

REIT or to satisfy the REIT Requirements, or (b) to reflect the Transfer of all or any part of a Partnership Interest among the Special Limited Partner and any Disregarded Entity with respect to the Special Limited Partner; 

(7) to modify either or both of the manner in which items of Net Income or Net Loss are allocated pursuant to Article 6 or the
manner in which Capital Accounts are adjusted, computed, or maintained (but in each case only to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement and as may be permitted under applicable law); 

(8) to reflect the issuance of additional Partnership Interests in accordance with Section 4.2; 

(9) to reflect any modification to this Agreement permitted by Section 4.4.A or any other provision of this Agreement that
authorizes the General Partner to make amendments without the consent of any other Person; 
 (10) to reflect any
modification to this Agreement as is necessary or desirable (as determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion), including, without limitation, to the definition of “REIT Share Adjustment Factor,” to reflect the
direct ownership of assets by the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner, as applicable, as contemplated by Section 7.5; and 

(11) to reflect any other modification to this Agreement as is reasonably necessary for the business or operations of the
Partnership or the Special Limited Partner and which does not violate Section 7.3.D. 
 D. Notwithstanding Sections 7.3.B, 7.3.C
and 14.2 hereof, this Agreement shall not be amended, and no action may be taken by the General Partner, without the Consent of each Partner materially adversely affected thereby, if such amendment or action would (i) convert a Limited Partner
Interest in the Partnership into a General Partner Interest (except any Limited Partner Interest held by the General Partner), (ii) adversely modify the limited liability of a Limited Partner, (iii) alter the rights of


  
 38 








 
any Partner to receive the distributions to which such Partner is entitled pursuant to Article 5 or Section 13.2.A(4) hereof, or alter the allocations specified in Article 6 hereof
(except, in any case, as permitted pursuant to Sections 4.2, 4.4, 4.5, 5.5, 7.3.C and Article 6 hereof), (iv) alter or modify the Redemption rights, Cash Amount or REIT Shares Amount as set forth in Section 15.1 hereof, or amend

Partner. Further, no amendment may alter the restrictions on the General Partner’s powers expressly set forth elsewhere in this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section 7.3) without the Consent specified therein. 

Section 7.4 Reimbursement of the General Partner and the Special Limited Partner. 

A. Neither the General Partner nor the Special Limited Partner shall be compensated for its services as general partner or limited partner of
the Partnership except as provided in this Agreement (including the provisions of Articles 5 and 6 hereof regarding distributions, payments and allocations to which the General Partner or Special Limited Partner may be entitled in its capacity as
the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner, as applicable). 
 B. Subject to Sections 7.4.D and 15.12 hereof, the Partnership
shall be responsible for and shall pay all expenses relating to the Partnership’s, the General Partner’s and the Special Limited Partner’s organization and the ownership of each of their assets and operations. The General Partner is
hereby authorized to cause the Partnership to pay compensation for accounting, administrative, legal, technical, management and other services rendered to the Partnership. The Partnership shall be liable for, and shall reimburse the General Partner
or the Special Limited Partner, as applicable, on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the General Partner may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, for all sums expended in connection with the Partnership’s business, including,
without limitation, (i) expenses relating to the ownership of interests in and management and operation of the Partnership, (ii) compensation of officers and employees, including, without limitation, payments under future compensation
plans of the Special Limited Partner, the General Partner or the Partnership that may provide for stock units, or phantom stock, pursuant to which employees, officers or directors of the Special Limited Partner, the General Partner or the
Partnership will receive payments based upon dividends on or the value of REIT Shares, (iii) director fees and expenses of the Special Limited Partner or its Affiliates, (iv) any expenses (other than the purchase price) incurred by the
Special Limited Partner in connection with the redemption or other repurchase of REIT Shares or Capital Shares, and (v) all costs and expenses of the Special Limited Partner of being a public company, including, without limitation, costs of
filings with the SEC, reports and other distributions to its stockholders; provided, however, that the amount of any reimbursement shall be reduced by any interest earned by the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner with
respect to bank accounts or other instruments or accounts held by it on behalf of the Partnership. The Partners acknowledge that all such expenses of the General Partner and the Special Limited Partner are deemed to be for the benefit of the
Partnership. Such reimbursements shall be in addition to any reimbursement of the General Partner and the Special Limited Partner as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof. 

C. If the Special Limited Partner shall elect to purchase from its stockholders REIT Shares or Capital Shares for the purpose of delivering
such REIT Shares or Capital Shares to satisfy an obligation under any dividend reinvestment program adopted by the Special Limited Partner, any employee stock purchase plan adopted by the Special Limited Partner or any similar obligation or
arrangement undertaken by the Special Limited Partner in the future, in lieu of the treatment specified in Section 4.7.B, the purchase price paid by the Special Limited Partner for such REIT Shares or Capital


  
 39 








 
Shares shall be considered an expense of the Partnership and shall be advanced to the Special Limited Partner or reimbursed to the Special Limited Partner, subject to the condition that:
(1) if such REIT Shares subsequently are sold by the Special Limited Partner, the Special Limited Partner shall pay or cause to be paid to the Partnership any proceeds received by the Special Limited Partner for such REIT Shares (which sales
proceeds shall include the amount of dividends reinvested under any dividend reinvestment or similar program; provided, that a transfer of REIT Shares for Partnership Common Units pursuant to Section 15.1 shall not be considered a sale for such
purposes); and (2) if such REIT Shares are not retransferred by the Special Limited Partner within 30 days after the purchase thereof, or the Special Limited Partner otherwise determines not to retransfer such REIT Shares, the Partnership shall
redeem from the Special Limited Partner a number of Partnership Common Units determined in accordance with Section 4.7.B, as adjusted, to the extent the General Partner determines is necessary or advisable in its sole and absolute discretion,
(x) pursuant to Section 7.5 (in the event the Special Limited Partner acquires material assets, other than on behalf of the Partnership) and (y) for stock dividends and distributions, stock splits and subdivisions, reverse stock
splits and combinations, distributions of rights, warrants or options, and distributions of evidences of indebtedness or assets relating to assets not received by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to a pro rata distribution by the Partnership (in
which case such advancement or reimbursement of expenses shall be treated as having been made as a distribution in redemption of such number of Partnership Units held by the Special Limited Partner). 

D. To the extent practicable, Partnership expenses shall be billed directly to and paid by the Partnership and, subject to Section 15.12
hereof, if and to the extent any reimbursements to the General Partner, the Special Limited Partner or any of its Affiliates by the Partnership pursuant to this Section 7.4 constitute gross income to such Person (as opposed to the repayment of
advances made by such Person on behalf of the Partnership), such amounts shall be treated as “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Code Section 707(c) and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the
Partners’ Capital Accounts. 
 Section 7.5 Outside Activities of the General Partner and the Special Limited Partner. 

Unless otherwise determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, neither the General Partner nor the Special Limited
Partner shall directly or indirectly enter into or conduct any business, other than in connection with, (a) the ownership, acquisition and disposition of Partnership Interests, (b) with respect to the General Partner, the management of the
business and affairs of the Partnership and its affiliates, (c) with respect to the Special Limited Partner, the operation of the Special Limited Partner as a reporting company with a class (or classes) of securities registered under the
Exchange Act, (d) with respect to the Special Limited Partner, its operations as a REIT, (e) with respect to the Special Limited Partner, the offering, sale, syndication, private or public offering or issuance of stock, bonds, securities
or other interests, (f) financing or refinancing of any type related to the Partnership or its assets or activities, and (g) such activities as are incidental thereto; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided herein, any funds
raised by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to the preceding clauses (e) and (f) shall be made available to the Partnership, whether as Capital Contributions, loans or otherwise, as appropriate, and, provided, further that each of the
General Partner and the Special Limited Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, from time to time hold or acquire assets in its own name or otherwise other than through the Partnership so long as the General Partner or the Special Limited
Partner, as applicable, takes commercially reasonable measures to ensure that the economic benefits and burdens of such Property are otherwise vested in the Partnership, through assignment, mortgage loan or otherwise or, if it is not commercially
reasonable to vest such economic interests in the Partnership, the General Partner shall make such amendments to this Agreement, as the General Partner determines are necessary or desirable, including, without limitation, the definition of
“REIT Share Adjustment Factor,” to reflect such activities and the direct ownership of assets by the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner, as applicable. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit the General Partner
from 

  
 40 








 
executing guarantees of Partnership debt. Unless otherwise determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, the General Partner, the Special Limited Partner and all
Disregarded Entities with respect to the Special Limited Partner, taken as a group, shall not own any assets or take title to assets (other than temporarily in connection with an acquisition prior to contributing such assets to the Partnership)
other than (i) interests in Disregarded Entities with respect to the Special Limited Partner, (ii) Partnership Interests as the General Partner or Special Limited Partner, (iii) a minority interest in any Subsidiary of the Partnership
that the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner holds to maintain such Subsidiary’s status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise, and (iv) such cash and cash equivalents, bank accounts or similar
instruments or accounts as such group deems reasonably necessary, taking into account Section 7.1.D hereof and the requirements necessary for the Special Limited Partner to qualify as a REIT and for the General Partner and the Special Limited
Partner to carry out their respective responsibilities contemplated under this Agreement and the Special Limited Partner Charter. Any Limited Partner Interests acquired by the General Partner, shall be automatically converted into a General Partner
Interest comprised of an identical number of Partnership Units with the same terms as the class or series so acquired. Any Affiliates of the General Partner may acquire Limited Partner Interests and shall, except as expressly provided in this
Agreement, be entitled to exercise all rights of a Limited Partner relating to such Limited Partner Interests. 
 Section 7.6 Transactions with
Affiliates. 
 A. The Partnership may lend or contribute funds to, and borrow funds from, Persons in which the Partnership has an
equity investment and Persons who own equity or other interests in the Partnership (including the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner), and such Persons may borrow funds from, and lend or contribute funds to, the Partnership, on terms and
conditions established in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner. The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any Person. 

B. The Partnership may transfer assets to joint ventures, limited liability companies, partnerships, corporations, business trusts, statutory
trusts or other business entities in which it is or thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions consistent with this Agreement and applicable law. 

C. The General Partner, the Special Limited Partner and their respective Affiliates may sell, transfer or convey any property to, or purchase
any property from, the Partnership, directly or indirectly, on terms and conditions established by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. 

D. The General Partner or the Special Limited Partner in their respective sole and absolute discretion and without the approval of the
Partners or any of them or any other Persons, may propose and adopt (on behalf of the Partnership) employee benefit plans funded by the Partnership for the benefit of directors, officers, employees or agents of the Special Limited Partner, the
General Partner, the Partnership, Subsidiaries of the Partnership or any Affiliate of any of them in respect of services performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Special Limited Partner, the General Partner, the Partnership or any
of the Partnership’s Subsidiaries. 
 Section 7.7 Indemnification. 

A. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Partnership shall indemnify each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and other legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands,
actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, whether by or in the right of the Partnership 

  
 41 








 
or otherwise that relate to the operations of the Partnership (“Actions”) as set forth in this Agreement in which such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be
involved, as a party or otherwise; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not indemnify an Indemnitee (i) if the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the Action and either was
committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, if the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful; or (iii) for any loss
resulting from any transaction for which such Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services in violation or breach of any provision of this Agreement; and provided, further, that no payments
pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by the Partnership (x) to indemnify or advance expenses to any Indemnitee with respect to any Action initiated or brought voluntarily by such Indemnitee (and not by way of defense) unless
(I) approved or authorized by the General Partner or (II) incurred to establish or enforce such Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Agreement or (y) to indemnify an Indemnitee in connection with one or more claims or
Actions involving such Indemnitee if such Indemnitee is found liable to the Partnership with respect to such claim or Action. If Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to one or more but less than all claims, issues or
matters in any Action, the Partnership shall provide indemnification hereunder in connection with each such claim, issue or matter, allocated on a reasonable and proportionate basis. 

Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any
indebtedness of the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership (including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership has assumed or taken subject to), and the General Partner is hereby
authorized and empowered, in its sole and absolute discretion on behalf of the Partnership, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.7 in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially
having liability for any such indebtedness. It is the intention of this Section 7.7.A that the Partnership indemnify each Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law and this Agreement. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order
or settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 7.7.A. The termination of any proceeding by conviction of an Indemnitee or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent by an Indemnitee, or an entry of an order of probation against an Indemnitee prior to judgment, does not create a presumption that such Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this
Section 7.7.A with respect to the subject matter of such proceeding. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, and neither the General Partner nor any other Holder shall have
any obligation to pay or otherwise satisfy such indemnification obligation or to contribute to the capital of the Partnership or otherwise provide funds to enable the Partnership to fund its obligations under this Section 7.7. 

B. To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding or otherwise subject to or the
focus of or is involved in any Action shall be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership as incurred by the Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of the Action upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee
of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership as authorized in Section 7.7.A has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay
the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met. 
 C. The indemnification provided by this
Section 7.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any Consent of the Partners, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an
Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnitee or in the writing
pursuant to which such Indemnitee is indemnified. 

  
 42 








 D. The Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf
of any of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities,
regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. 

E. Any liabilities which an Indemnitee incurs as a result of acting on behalf of the Partnership, the General Partner or the Special Limited
Partner (whether as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with the operation, administration or maintenance of an employee benefit plan or any related trust or funding mechanism (whether such liabilities are in the form of excise taxes assessed by
the IRS, penalties assessed by the U.S. Department of Labor, restitutions to such a plan or trust or other funding mechanism or to a participant or beneficiary of such plan, trust or other funding mechanism, or otherwise) shall be treated as
liabilities or judgments or fines under this Section 7.7, unless such liabilities arise as a result of (i) an act or omission of such Indemnitee that was material to the matter giving rise to the Action and either was committed in bad
faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, an act or omission that such Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe was unlawful, or (iii) any transaction in which such
Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services in violation or breach of any provision of this Agreement. 

F. In no event may an Indemnitee subject any of the Holders to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in
this Agreement. 
 G. An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.7 because the
Indemnitee had an interest (including a conflicted interest) in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement. 

H. The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and
shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the
Partnership’s liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to
such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted. 
 I. It is the intent of the parties that
any amounts paid by the Partnership to the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be treated as “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Code Section 707(c) and shall not be treated
as distributions for purposes of computing the Partners’ Capital Accounts. 
 Section 7.8 Liability of the General Partner and its
Affiliates.  
 A. To the fullest extent permitted by law: (i) Each of the General Partner, the Special Limited
Partner, as the sole member of the General Partner, and their respective officers, directors, members and managers, and any other Indemnitee, is acting for the benefit of not only the Partnership and the Partners, but also the Special Limited
Partner’s stockholders, collectively; (ii) in the event of a conflict between the interests of the Partnership or any Partner, on the one hand, and the separate interests of the Special Limited Partner or its stockholders, on the other
hand, the General Partner, the Special Limited Partner, as the sole member of the General Partner, and their respective officers, directors, members and managers, and any other Indemnitees, are under no obligation and have no duty (fiduciary or
otherwise) not to give priority to the separate interests of the Special Limited Partner or the stockholders of the 

  
 43 








 
Special Limited Partner, and may give priority to the separate interests of the Special Limited Partner, or the stockholders of the Special Limited Partner, in a manner that is adverse to the
Partnership and its Partners, and any action or failure to act on the part of the Special Limited Partner or its officers and directors, or any other Indemnitees, that gives priority to the separate interests of the Special Limited Partner or its
stockholders, does not violate any duty hereunder or otherwise owed by the General Partner, the Special Limited Partner, as the sole member of the General Partner, or their respective officers, directors, members or managers, or any other
Indemnitees, to the Partnership and/or the Partners or any other Person bound by this Agreement; and (iii) none of the General Partner, the Special Limited Partner or their respective officers, directors, members or managers, or any other
Indemnitee, shall be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner or any other Person bound by this Agreement for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived by the Partnership or any Partner in connection with
such decisions, except for liability for acts of the General Partner committed in bad faith or resulting from the active and deliberate dishonesty of the General Partner. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, to the fullest extent
permitted by law and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or applicable provisions of law or equity or otherwise, whenever a conflict arises between the interests of the Special Limited
Partner or the stockholders of the Special Limited Partner, on one hand, and any Limited Partner, on the other hand, the General Partner will endeavor in good faith to resolve the conflict in a manner not adverse to the Special Limited Partner or
the stockholders of the Special Limited Partner or any Limited Partner; provided, however, that for so long as the Special Limited Partner owns a controlling interest in the Partnership, any conflict that cannot be resolved in a manner not adverse
to the Special Limited Partner or the stockholders of the Special Limited Partner and any Limited Partner shall be resolved in favor of the Special Limited Partner or the stockholders of the Special Limited Partner, as the case may be, and any
action taken by the General Partner or any other Indemnitee in connection with any such conflict of interests shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any duty at law, in equity or otherwise. Any benefit received by any Indemnitee as a
result of any transaction that does not violate this Section 7.8.A shall not be deemed to be an “improper” personal benefit for purposes of Section 7.7, Section 7.8 and Section 8.1. 

B. Subject to its obligations and duties as General Partner set forth in this Agreement and applicable law, the General Partner may exercise
any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its employees or agents (subject to the supervision and control of the General Partner). The General Partner
shall not be liable to the Partnership or any Partner for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such employee or agent appointed by it in good faith. The General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management
consultants, investment bankers and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion of such Persons as to matters that the General Partner believes to be within such Person’s
professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been taken or omitted to be taken in good faith and shall not constitute a breach of any duty (including any fiduciary duty) or obligation arising at law or in equity or under
this Agreement. 
 C. Any obligation or liability whatsoever of the General Partner or the Partnership which may arise at any time under
this Agreement or any other instrument, transaction, or undertaking contemplated hereby shall be satisfied, if at all, out of the assets of the General Partner or the Partnership only. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no such obligation
or liability shall be personally binding upon, nor shall resort for the enforcement thereof be had to, any of the General Partner’s members, managers or agents, or the directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents of the General
Partner’s members or managers, including the Special Limited Partner, regardless of whether such obligation or liability is in the nature of contract, tort or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none
of the members, managers or agents of the General Partner, and none of the directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents of the General Partner’s members or managers, 

  
 44 








 
including the Special Limited Partner or any other Indemnitee, shall be liable or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Partnership, any Partners, or any other Person bound by this Agreement
for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as a result of errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or of any act or omission, except for any such losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as a result
of (i) an act or omission on the part of such Person that was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, an act or omission on the part of such Person that
such Person had reasonable cause to believe was unlawful; or (iii) for any loss resulting from any transaction for which such Person actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services in violation or breach of any
provision of this Agreement. 
 D. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.8 or any provision hereof shall be
prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of the General Partner or the members, managers or agents of the General Partner, the Special Limited Partner, or of the directors, officers, stockholders, employees
or agents of the Special Limited Partner, or the Indemnitees, to the Partnership, the Partners or any other Person bound by this Agreement under this Section 7.8 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with
respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted. 

E. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except for liabilities resulting from (i) an act or omission on the part of such
Partner that was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, an act or omission on the part of such Partner that such Partner had reasonable cause to believe was
unlawful; or (iii) any transaction for which such Partner actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services in violation or breach of any provision of this Agreement, or pursuant to any express indemnities given to
the Partnership by any Partner pursuant to any other written instrument to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Partner shall have any personal liability whatsoever, to the Partnership or to the other Partners or to any other Person bound by this
Agreement, including any damages arising out of the breach of any such Partner’s fiduciary duties as such duties may have been replaced by this Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, no property or assets of such Partner, other than
its interest in the Partnership, shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any judgment (or other judicial process) in favor of any other Partner(s) or any other Person bound by this Agreement and
arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement. This Agreement is executed by the officers of the Special Limited Partner, in the name and on behalf of the Special Limited Partner, in its capacity as managing member of the General Partner,
solely as officers of the Special Limited Partner, and not in their own individual capacities. 
 F. To the extent that, at law or in
equity, the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner, as the sole member of the General Partner or in its capacity as a Limited Partner, or any other Indemnitee, has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the
Partnership or the Limited Partners, none of the General Partner, the Special Limited Partner, as the sole member of the General Partner or in its capacity as a Limited Partner, or any other Indemnitee, shall be liable to the Partnership or to any
Partner for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any otherwise applicable provision of law or in equity, neither the General Partner nor any other
Indemnitee shall have any fiduciary duties, or, to the fullest extent permitted by law, except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, other duties, obligations or liabilities, to the Partnership, any Limited Partner or any other Person
who has acquired an interest in a Partnership Interest, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the General Partner and the other Indemnitees shall only be subject to any contractual standards imposed and existing under this Agreement. 

  
 45 








 G. To the fullest extent permitted by law and notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or applicable provisions of law or equity or otherwise, whenever in this Agreement any Person is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its “sole and absolute discretion,”
“sole discretion”, “discretion”, “at its election” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, such Person shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests,
shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest or factors affecting the Partnership, the Partners, or any other Person bound by this Agreement, and shall be entitled to act in a manner adverse to the interests of the
Partnership, the Partners or any other Person bound by this Agreement, or (ii) in its “good faith” or under another expressed standard, such Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or
different standards imposed by this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or by relevant provisions of law or in equity or otherwise. If any question should arise with respect to the operation of the Partnership, which is not
otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement or the Act, or with respect to the interpretation of this Agreement, the General Partner is hereby authorized to make a final determination with respect to any such question and to interpret this
Agreement in such a manner as it shall deem, in its sole discretion, to be fair and equitable, and its determination and interpretations so made shall be final and binding on all parties and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, of any
agreement contemplated herein or therein, or of any duty existing at law, in equity or otherwise, including any fiduciary duty. 
 H. To the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Indemnitee shall be liable to the Partnership, any Partner or any other Person bound by this Agreement for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by
such Indemnitee in good faith on behalf of the Partnership and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Indemnitee by this Agreement, except that an Indemnitee shall be liable for any such loss,
damage or claim incurred if (i) such act or omission was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, if such Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that
such act or omission was unlawful; or (iii) such loss, damage or claim incurred resulted from any transaction for which such Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services in violation or breach of any
provision of this Agreement. 
 I. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, it is understood and/or agreed that the term
“good faith” as used in this Agreement shall, in each case, mean “subjective good faith” as understood and interpreted under Delaware law; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, any resolution of a conflict of
interest between the Special Limited Partner, or the interests of stockholders of the Special Limited Partner, on the one hand, and the Partnership or any Limited Partner on the other hand, in a manner favorable to the Special Limited Partner or the
interests of the stockholders of the Special Limited Partner shall not be deemed a violation of such “subjective good faith” standard. 

Section 7.9 Other Matters Concerning the General Partner and the Special Limited Partner. 

A. The General Partner may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. 

B. The General Partner shall have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to act through any duly authorized
agents or a duly appointed attorney or attorneys-in-fact (including, without limitation, the Special Limited Partner). Each such agent or attorney shall, to the extent
authorized by the General Partner, have full power and authority to do and perform all and every act and duty that is permitted or required to be done by the General Partner hereunder. 

  
 46 








 C. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Act, any action of the General
Partner on behalf of the Partnership or any decision of the General Partner to refrain from acting on behalf of the Partnership, undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or omission is necessary or advisable in order (i) to protect
the ability of the Special Limited Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT, (ii) for the Special Limited Partner otherwise to satisfy the REIT Requirements, (iii) for the Special Limited Partner to avoid incurring any taxes under Code
Section 857 or Code Section 4981, or (iv) for any Special Limited Partner Affiliate to continue to qualify as a “qualified REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Code Section 856(i)(2)), is expressly authorized under
this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Limited Partners and each other Person bound by this Agreement and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, of any agreement contemplated herein or therein, or of any duty existing at law,
in equity or otherwise, including any fiduciary duty. 
 D. To the extent the Special Limited Partner, or its officers or directors or any
other Indemnitee, take any action in the name or on behalf of the General Partner, in the General Partner’s capacity as the sole general partner of the Partnership, the Special Limited Partner and its officers and directors or any other
Indemnitee, shall be entitled to the same protection as the General Partner and its members, managers and agents. 
 Section 7.10 Title to
Partnership Assets. 
 Title to Partnership assets, whether real, personal or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, shall be
deemed to be owned by the Partnership as an entity, and no Partner, individually or collectively with other Partners or Persons, shall have any ownership interest in such Partnership assets or any portion thereof. Title to any or all of the
Partnership assets may be held in the name of the Partnership, the General Partner, or one or more nominees, as the General Partner may determine, including Affiliates of the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner. The General Partner hereby
declares and warrants that any Partnership assets for which legal title is held in the name of the General Partner, or any nominee or Affiliate of the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner shall be held by the General Partner or such
nominee or Affiliate for the use and benefit of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All Partnership assets shall be recorded as the property of the Partnership in its books and records, irrespective of the name in
which legal title to such Partnership assets is held. 
 Section 7.11 Reliance by Third Parties. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the Partnership shall be entitled to assume that the
General Partner has full power and authority, without the consent or approval of any other Partner or Person, to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Partnership and to enter into any contracts on behalf of the
Partnership, and take any and all actions on behalf of the Partnership, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the General Partner as if it were the Partnership’s sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, each Limited Partner and each other Person bound by this Agreement hereby waives any and all claims, defenses or other remedies that may be available to such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the General
Partner in connection with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person dealing with the General Partner or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or
expediency of any act or action of the General Partner or its representatives. Each and every certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Partnership by the General Partner or its representatives shall be conclusive evidence
in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (i) at the time of the execution and delivery of such certificate, document or instrument, this Agreement was in full force and effect, (ii) the Person executing
and delivering such certificate, document or instrument was duly authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the Partnership and (iii) such certificate, document or instrument was duly executed and delivered in accordance with the
terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Partnership.

contemplated herein or applicable provisions of law or equity or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law, including without limitation Section 7.1.A and Section 7.6, one or more Affiliates of the Special Limited Partner may own

C. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.5, the General Partner may keep confidential from the Limited Partners (or any
of them), for such period of time as the General Partner determines in its sole and absolute discretion to be reasonable, any information that (i) the General Partner believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information the
disclosure of which the General Partner in good faith believes is not in the best interests of the Partnership or the General Partner or (ii) the Partnership or the General Partner is required by law or by agreement to keep confidential. 

D. Upon written request by any Limited Partner, the General Partner shall cause the ownership of Partnership Interests by such Limited Partner
to be evidenced by a certificate in such form as the General Partner may determine with respect to any class of Partnership Interests issued from time to time under this Agreement. Any officer of the General Partner may direct a new certificate or
certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Partnership alleged to have been lost, destroyed, stolen or mutilated, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the
certificate to be lost, destroyed, stolen or mutilated. Unless otherwise determined by an officer of the General Partner, the owner of such lost, destroyed, stolen or mutilated certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, shall
be required, as a condition precedent to the issuance of a new certificate or certificates, to give the Partnership a bond in such sum as the General Partner may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Partnership.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, on and after the date on which the aggregate Percentage Interests of the Limited
Partners (other than the Special Limited Partner or any Limited Partner that is an affiliate of The Blackstone Group L.P.) are less than one percent (1%), the Partnership shall have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time and at any
time to redeem any and all outstanding Limited Partner Interests (other than the Special Limited Partner’s Limited Partner Interests or the Limited Partner Interests of any affiliate of The Blackstone Group L.P.) by treating any such Limited
Partner as a Tendering Party who has delivered a Notice of Redemption pursuant to Section 15.1 hereof for the amount of Partnership Common Units to be specified by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, by notice to such
Limited Partner that the Partnership has elected to exercise its rights under this Section 8.6. Such notice given by the General Partner to a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 8.6 shall be treated as if it were a Notice of
Redemption delivered to the General Partner by such Limited Partner. For purposes of this Section 8.6, (a) any Limited Partner (whether or not otherwise a Qualifying Party) may, in the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion,
be treated as a Qualifying Party that is a Tendering Party and (b) the provisions of Sections 15.1.F(2) and 15.1.F(3) hereof shall not apply, but the remainder of Section 15.1 hereof shall apply, mutatis mutandis.

respect to Partnership income, gains, deductions, losses and other items required of the Partnership for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes and shall use all reasonable efforts to furnish, within ninety (90) days of the close of each

Section 754) upon the General Partner’s determination in its sole and absolute discretion that such revocation is in the best interests of the Partners. 

Section 10.3 Tax Matters Partner. 

A. The General Partner shall be the “tax matters partner” (as such term is defined in Code Section 6231(a)(7)) of the Partnership
for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to taxable periods ending on or before December 31, 2017. The General Partner is also authorized to appoint or act as the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Code
Section 6223(a) and the U.S. Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (and assume any comparable procedural duties provided under any U.S. or non-U.S. tax laws), with respect to taxable periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2018. The tax matters partner or the partnership representative, as applicable, shall receive no compensation for its services. All third-party costs and expenses incurred by the tax matters partner or the partnership representative,
as applicable, in performing its duties as such (including legal and accounting fees and expenses) shall be borne by the 

  
 51 








 
Partnership in addition to any reimbursement pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof. Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the Partnership from engaging an accounting firm to assist the tax
matters partner or the partnership representative, as applicable, in discharging its duties hereunder. 
 B. The tax matters partner or the
partnership representative, as applicable, is authorized, but not required: 
 (1) in the event that a notice of a final
administrative adjustment at the Partnership level of any item required to be taken into account by a Partner for U.S. tax purposes (a “Final Adjustment”) is mailed to the tax matters partner, to seek judicial review of such Final
Adjustment, including the filing of a petition for readjustment with the United States Tax Court or the United States Court of Federal Claims, or the filing of a complaint for refund with the District Court of the United States for the district in
which the Partnership’s principal place of business is located; 
 (2) to intervene in any action brought by any other
Partner for judicial review of a final adjustment; 
 (3) to file a request for an administrative adjustment with the IRS at
any time and, if any part of such request is not allowed by the IRS, to file an appropriate pleading (petition or complaint) for judicial review with respect to such request; 

(4) to enter into an agreement with the IRS to extend the period for assessing any tax that is attributable to any item
required to be taken into account by a Partner for U.S. tax purposes, or an item affected by such item; and 
 (5) to take
any other action on behalf of the Partners or any of them in connection with any tax audit or judicial review proceeding to the extent permitted by applicable law or regulations. 

The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the tax matters partner or the partnership representative, as applicable, in
connection with any such proceeding, except to the extent required by law, is a matter in the sole and absolute discretion of the tax matters partner or the partnership representative, as applicable, and the provisions relating to indemnification of
the General Partner set forth in Section 7.7 hereof shall be fully applicable to the tax matters partner or the partnership representative, as applicable, in its capacity as such. 

Section 10.4 Withholding. 

Each Holder hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Holder any amount of U.S. federal,
state, local or foreign taxes that the General Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, the Partnership is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Holder pursuant to this Agreement,
including, without limitation, any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Partnership pursuant to Code Section 1441, Code Section 1442, Code Section 1445 or Code Section 1446 (a “Tax Advance”). Any amount
withheld with respect to a Holder pursuant to this Section 10.4 shall be treated as paid or distributed, as applicable, to such Holder for all purposes under this Agreement. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Holder, in excess of
any such withheld amount, shall constitute a loan by the Partnership to such Holder, which loan shall be repaid by such Holder within thirty (30) days after the affected Holder receives written notice from the General Partner that such payment
must be made, provided that the Holder shall not be required to repay such deemed loan if either (i) the Partnership withholds such payment from a 

  
 52 








 
distribution that would otherwise be made to the Holder or (ii) the General Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such payment may be satisfied out of the funds of
the Partnership that would, but for such payment, be distributed to the Holder. Any amounts payable by a Holder hereunder shall bear interest at the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from
time to time in the Wall Street Journal (but not higher than the maximum lawful rate) from the date such amount is due (i.e., thirty (30) days after the Holder receives written notice of such amount) until such amount is paid in full. Each
Holder hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership and the General Partner and each other Partner from and against any liability, claim or expense with respect to any Tax Advance withheld or required to be withheld on behalf of or
with respect to such Partner. In the event the Partnership is liquidated and a liability or claim is asserted against, or expense borne by, the General Partner or any Holder for any Tax Advance, the Partnership shall have the right to be reimbursed
from the Holder on whose behalf such withholding or tax payment was made or required to be made. The obligations of a Holder set forth in this paragraph 10.4 shall survive the withdrawal of any Holder from the Partnership or any Transfer of a
Holder’s Partnership Interest. 
 Section 10.5 Organizational Expenses. 

The General Partner may cause the Partnership to elect to deduct expenses, if any, incurred by it in organizing the Partnership ratably over a
180-month period as provided in Code Section 709. 
 Section 10.6 Treatment of Partnership as
Disregarded Entity. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Partnership is treated as a Disregarded
Entity with respect to the Special Limited Partner during any period, then the other provisions of this Agreement shall be applied (or not applied) in a manner consistent with such treatment with respect to such period, as determined by the General
Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. In the event of any conflict between this Section 10.6 and any other provision of this Agreement, this Section 10.6 shall control.

A. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no part of the interest of a Partner shall be subject to the claims of any creditor, to any spouse
for alimony or support, or to legal process, and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily alienated or encumbered except as may be specifically provided for in this Agreement. 

B. No Partnership Interest shall be Transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this
Article 11. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any Transfer or purported Transfer of a Partnership Interest not made in accordance with this Article 11 shall be null and void ab initio. 

C. No Transfer of any Partnership Interest may be made to a lender to the Partnership or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Section 1.752-4(b) of the Regulations) to any lender to the Partnership whose loan constitutes a Nonrecourse Liability, without the Consent of the General Partner; provided, however, that, as
a condition to such Consent, the lender may be required to enter into an arrangement with the Partnership and the General Partner to redeem or exchange for the REIT Shares Amount any Partnership Units in which a security interest is held by such
lender simultaneously with the time at which such lender would be deemed to be a partner in the Partnership for purposes of allocating 

  
 53 








 
liabilities to such lender under Code Section 752 (provided that, for purpose of calculating the REIT Shares Amount in this Section 11.1.C, “Tendered Units” shall mean
all such Partnership Units in which a security interest is held by such lender). 
 Section 11.2 Transfer of General Partner’s
Partnership Interest. 
 A. Subject to the rights of any Holder of any Partnership Interest set forth in a Partnership Unit
Designation, the General Partner may not Transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest (whether by sale, disposition, statutory merger or consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) without the Consent of the Limited Partners (but may do so
with the Consent of the Limited Partners). It is a condition to any Transfer of a Partnership Interest of a General Partner otherwise permitted hereunder that: (i) coincident with such Transfer, the transferee is admitted as a General Partner
pursuant to Section 12.1 hereof; (ii) the transferee assumes, by operation of law or express agreement, all of the obligations of the transferor General Partner under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Partnership Interest;
and (iii) the transferee has executed such instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such admission and to confirm the agreement of such transferee to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect to the
Partnership Interest so acquired and the admission of such transferee as a General Partner. 
 B. Certain Transactions of the General
Partner. Subject to the rights of any Holder of any Partnership Interest set forth in a Partnership Unit Designation, the General Partner may, without the consent of any Limited Partner or other Person, Transfer all of its Partnership Interest
in connection with (a) a merger, consolidation or other combination of its assets with another entity, (b) a sale of all or substantially all of the General Partner’s assets not in the ordinary course of the Partnership’s
business or (c) a reclassification, recapitalization or change of any outstanding equity interests of the General Partner (each, a “Termination Transaction”) if: 

(i) in connection with such Termination Transaction, all of the Limited Partners will receive, or will have the right to elect
to receive, for each Partnership Common Unit an amount of cash, securities or other property equal to the product of the REIT Share Adjustment Factor and the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property paid to a holder of one REIT Share in
consideration of one REIT Share pursuant to the terms of such Termination Transaction; provided, that if, in connection with such Termination Transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of
the outstanding REIT Shares, each holder of Partnership Common Units shall receive, or shall have the right to elect to receive, the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property which such holder of Partnership Common Units would have
received had it exercised its right to Redemption pursuant to Article 15 hereof and received REIT Shares in exchange for its Partnership Common Units immediately prior to the expiration of such purchase, tender or exchange offer and had
thereupon accepted such purchase, tender or exchange offer and then such Termination Transaction were consummated; or 
 (ii)
all of the following conditions are met: (w) substantially all of the assets directly or indirectly owned by the surviving entity are owned directly or indirectly by the Partnership or another limited partnership or limited liability company
which is the survivor of a merger, consolidation or combination of assets with the Partnership (in each case, the “Surviving Partnership”); (x) the Limited Partners that held Partnership Common Units immediately prior to the
consummation of such Termination Transaction own a percentage interest of the Surviving Partnership based on the relative fair market value of the net assets of the Partnership and the other net assets of the Surviving Partnership immediately prior
to the consummation of such transaction; (y) the rights, preferences and privileges in the Surviving Partnership of such Limited 

  
 54 








 
Partners are at least as favorable as those in effect with respect to the Partnership Common Units immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction and as those applicable to any other
limited partners or non-managing members of the Surviving Partnership; and (z) the rights of such Limited Partners include at least one of the following: (a) the right to redeem their interests in
the Surviving Partnership for the consideration available to such persons pursuant to Section 11.2.B(i) or (b) the right to redeem their interests in the Surviving Partnership for cash on terms substantially equivalent to those in
effect with respect to their Partnership Common Units immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, or, if the ultimate controlling person of the Surviving Partnership has publicly traded common equity securities, such common equity
securities, with an exchange ratio based on the determination of relative fair market value of such securities and the REIT Shares. 
 C.
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 11 (other than Section 11.6.D hereof), the General Partner may Transfer all of its Partnership Interests at any time to any Person that is, at the time of such Transfer an Affiliate of
the General Partner, including any “qualified REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Code Section 856(i)(2)), without the Consent of any Limited Partners. The provisions of Section 11.2.B, 11.3, 11.4.A and 11.5 hereof shall not
apply to any Transfer permitted by this Section 11.2.C. 
 D. Except in connection with Transfers permitted in this Article 11 and as
otherwise provided in Section 12.1 in connection with the Transfer of the General Partner’s entire Partnership Interest, the General Partner may not voluntarily withdraw as a general partner of the Partnership without the Consent of the
Limited Partners. 
 Section 11.3 Limited Partners’ Rights to Transfer. 

A. General. [Prior to the end of the applicable Restricted Period and] [E][e]xcept as provided in Section 11.1.C hereof, no
Limited Partner shall Transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to any transferee without the Consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that any
Limited Partner may, at any time, without the consent or approval of the General Partner, (i) Transfer all or part of its Partnership Interest to any Family Member (including a Transfer by a Family Member that is an inter vivos or testamentary
trust (whether revocable or irrevocable) to a Family Member that is a beneficiary of such trust), any Charity, any Controlled Entity or any Affiliate, or (ii) pledge (a “Pledge”) all or any portion of its Partnership Interest
to a lending institution as collateral or security for a bona fide loan or other extension of credit, and Transfer such pledged Partnership Interest to such lending institution in connection with the exercise of remedies under such loan or extension
of credit (any Transfer or Pledge permitted by this proviso is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Transfer”). [After such Restricted Period,] each Limited Partner, and each transferee of a Limited Partner Interest or Assignee
pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, shall have the right to Transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to any Person, without the Consent of the General Partner but subject to the provisions of Section 11.4 hereof and to satisfaction
of each of the following conditions: 
 (1) Special Limited Partner Right of First Refusal. The transferor Limited
Partner (or the Partner’s estate in the event of the Partner’s death) shall give written notice of the proposed Transfer to the General Partner and the Special Limited Partner, which notice shall state (i) the identity and address of
the proposed transferee and (ii) the amount and type of consideration proposed to be received for the Transferred Partnership Interests. The Special Limited Partner shall have ten (10) Business Days upon which to give the transferor
Limited Partner notice of its election to acquire the Partnership Interests on the terms set forth in such notice. If it so elects, it shall purchase the Partnership Interests on such terms within ten (10) Business Days after giving


  
 55 








 
notice of such election; provided, however, that in the event that the proposed terms involve a purchase for cash, the Special Limited Partner may at its election deliver in lieu of
all or any portion of such cash a note from the Special Limited Partner payable to the transferor Limited Partner at a date as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days after such purchase, and
bearing interest at an annual rate equal to the total dividends declared with respect to one (1) REIT Share for the four (4) preceding fiscal quarters of the Special Limited Partner, divided by the Value of one REIT Share as of the closing
of such purchase; and provided, further, that such closing may be deferred to the extent necessary to effect compliance with the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, if applicable, and any other applicable requirements of law. If it does not so
elect, the transferor Limited Partner may Transfer such Partnership Interests to a third party, on terms no more favorable to the transferee than the proposed terms, subject to the other conditions of this Section 11.3. 

(2) Qualified Transferee. Any Transfer of a Partnership Interest shall be made only to a single Qualified Transferee;
provided, however, that, for such purposes, all Qualified Transferees that are Affiliates, or that comprise investment accounts or funds managed by a single Qualified Transferee and its Affiliates, shall be considered together to be a
single Qualified Transferee; and provided, further, that each Transfer meeting the minimum Transfer restriction of Section 11.3.A(4) hereof may be to a separate Qualified Transferee. 

(3) Opinion of Counsel. The transferor Limited Partner shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the General Partner an
opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it to the effect that the proposed Transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act and will not otherwise violate the registration provisions of the Securities Act and the
regulations promulgated thereunder or violate any state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Partnership or the Partnership Interests Transferred; provided, however, that the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, waive this condition upon the request of the transferor Limited Partner. If, in the opinion of such counsel, such Transfer would require the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act or would otherwise violate any
federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Partnership or the Transferred Partnership Interests, the General Partner may prohibit any Transfer otherwise permitted under this Section 11.3 by a Limited Partner of
Partnership Interests. 
 (4) Minimum Transfer Restriction. Any Transferring Partner may Transfer not less than the
lesser of (i) one thousand (1,000) Partnership Units or (ii) all of the remaining Partnership Units owned by such Transferring Partner, without, in each case, the Consent of the General Partner; provided, however, that,
for purposes of determining compliance with the foregoing restriction, all Partnership Units owned by Affiliates of a Limited Partner shall be considered to be owned by such Limited Partner. 

(5) Exception for Permitted Transfers. The conditions of Sections 11.3.A(1) through 11.3.A(4) hereof shall not
apply in the case of a Permitted Transfer. 
 It is a condition to any Transfer permitted hereunder [(whether or not such Transfer is
effected during or after the applicable Restricted Period)] that the transferee assumes by operation of law or express agreement all of the obligations of the transferor Limited Partner under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred
Partnership Interest, and no such Transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the transferor Partner are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of law) shall relieve the
transferor Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the Consent of the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transferee of any Transferred Partnership Interest shall be subject to any restrictions on ownership and
transfer of stock 

  
 56 








 
of the Special Limited Partner contained in the Special Limited Partner Charter that may limit or restrict such transferee’s ability to exercise its Redemption rights, including, without
limitation, the REIT Share Ownership Limit. Any transferee, whether or not admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, shall take subject to the obligations of the transferor hereunder. Unless admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, no transferee,
whether by a voluntary Transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, shall have any rights hereunder, other than the rights of an Assignee as provided in Section 11.5 hereof. 

B. Incapacity. If a Limited Partner is subject to Incapacity, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator or
receiver of such Limited Partner’s estate shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other Limited Partners, for the purpose of settling or managing the estate, and such power as the Incapacitated
Limited Partner possessed to Transfer all or any part of its interest in the Partnership. The Incapacity of a Limited Partner, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership. 

C. Adverse Tax Consequences. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner shall have the authority
(but shall not be required) to take any steps it determines are necessary or appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion to prevent the Partnership from being taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In furtherance of the
foregoing, except with the Consent of the General Partner, no Transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Interests (including any Redemption, any other acquisition of Partnership Units by the Special Limited Partner or the General Partner or
any acquisition of Partnership Units by the Partnership) may be made to or by any Person if such Transfer could (i) result in the Partnership being treated as an association taxable as a corporation; (ii) result in a termination of the
Partnership under Code Section 708; (iii) be treated as effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Code Section 7704
and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, (iv) result in the Partnership being unable to qualify for one or more of the “safe harbors” set forth in Regulations Section 1.7704-1 (or such
other guidance subsequently published by the IRS setting forth safe harbors under which interests will not be treated as “readily tradable on a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Code
Section 7704) (the “Safe Harbors”) or (v) in the General Partner’s judgment in its sole and absolute discretion, adversely affect the ability of the Special Limited Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or subject
the Special Limited Partner to any additional taxes under Code Section 857 or Code Section 4981. 
 Section 11.4 Admission of Substituted
Limited Partners. 
 A. No Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute a transferee (including any transferees pursuant to
Transfers permitted by Section 11.3 hereof) as a Limited Partner in its place. A transferee of a Limited Partner Interest may be admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner only with the Consent of the General Partner, which may be given or
withheld in its sole and absolute discretion. The failure or refusal by the General Partner to permit a transferee of any such interests to become a Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Partnership or
the General Partner. Subject to the foregoing, an Assignee shall not be admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner until and unless it furnishes to the General Partner (i) evidence of acceptance, in form and substance satisfactory to the General
Partner, of all the terms, conditions and applicable obligations of this Agreement, (ii) a counterpart signature page to this Agreement executed by such Assignee and (iii) such other documents and instruments as may be required or
advisable, in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner, to effect such Assignee’s admission as a Substituted Limited Partner. 

B. Concurrently with, and as evidence of, the admission of a Substituted Limited Partner, the General Partner shall update the books and
records of the Partnership to reflect the name, address and number and class and/or series of Partnership Units of such Substituted Limited Partner and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and number of Partnership Units of the
predecessor of such Substituted Limited Partner. 
 C. A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner in accordance
with this Article 11 shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Limited Partner under this Agreement. 

  
 57 








 Section 11.5 Assignees. 

If the General Partner does not Consent to the admission of any permitted transferee under Section 11.3 hereof as a Substituted Limited
Partner, as described in Section 11.4 hereof, or in the event that any Partnership Interest is deemed to have been Transferred notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in this Article 11, such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for
purposes of this Agreement. An Assignee shall be entitled to all the rights of an assignee of a limited partnership interest under the Act, including the right to receive distributions from the Partnership and the share of Net Income, Net Loss and
other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Partnership attributable to the Partnership Interest assigned to such transferee and the rights to Transfer the Partnership Interest provided in this Article 11, but shall not be
deemed to be a holder of a Partnership Interest for any other purpose under this Agreement (other than as expressly provided in Section 15.1 hereof with respect to a Qualifying Party that becomes a Tendering Party), and shall not be entitled to
effect a Consent or vote with respect to such Partnership Interest on any matter presented to the Partners for approval (such right to Consent or vote, to the extent provided in this Agreement or under the Act, fully remaining with the transferor
Limited Partner). In the event that any such transferee desires to make a further Transfer of any such Partnership Interest, such transferee shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article 11 to the same extent and in the same manner as
any Limited Partner desiring to make a Transfer of a Limited Partner Interest. 
 Section 11.6 General Provisions. 

A. No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a result of: (i) a Permitted Transfer of all of such Limited
Partner’s Partnership Units in accordance with this Article 11 with respect to which the transferee becomes a Substituted Limited Partner; (ii) pursuant to a redemption (or acquisition by the Special Limited Partner) of all of its
Partnership Units pursuant to a Redemption under Section 15.1 hereof and/or pursuant to any Partnership Unit Designation or (iii) the acquisition by the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner of all of such Limited Partner’s
Partnership Interest, whether or not pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof. 
 B. Any Limited Partner who shall Transfer all of its
Partnership Units in a Transfer (i) permitted pursuant to this Article 11 where such transferee was admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, (ii) pursuant to the exercise of its rights to effect a redemption of all of its
Partnership Units pursuant to a Redemption under Section 15.1 hereof and/or pursuant to any Partnership Unit Designation or (iii) to the Special Limited Partner, whether or not pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof, shall cease to be a
Limited Partner. 
 C. If any Partnership Unit is Transferred in compliance with the provisions of this Article 11, or is redeemed by
the Partnership, or acquired by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1 hereof, on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, then Net Income, Net Loss, each item thereof and all other items of income, gain, loss,
deduction and credit attributable to such Partnership Unit for such Partnership Year shall be allocated to the transferor Partner or the Tendering Party (as the case may be) and, in the case of a Transfer other than a Redemption, to the transferee
Partner, by taking into account their varying interests during the Partnership Year in accordance with 

  
 58 








 
Code Section 706(d), using any permissible method selected by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. Solely for purposes of making such allocations, unless the General
Partner decides in its sole and absolute discretion to use another method permitted under the Code, each of such items for the calendar month in which a Transfer or a Redemption occurs shall be allocated to the transferee Partner and none of such
items for the calendar month in which a Transfer or a Redemption occurs shall be allocated to the transferor Partner, or the Tendering Party (as the case may be) if such Transfer occurs on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of the month,
otherwise such items shall be allocated to the transferor. All distributions of funds attributable to such Partnership Unit with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such Transfer or Redemption shall be made to the
transferor Partner or the Tendering Party (as the case may be) and, in the case of a Transfer other than a Redemption, all distributions of funds thereafter attributable to such Partnership Unit shall be made to the transferee Partner. 

D. In addition to any other restrictions on Transfer herein contained, in no event may any Transfer of a Partnership Interest by any Partner
(including any Redemption, any acquisition of Partnership Units by the Special Limited Partner or any other acquisition of Partnership Units by the Partnership) be made: (i) to any person or entity who lacks the legal right, power or capacity
to own a Partnership Interest; (ii) in violation of applicable law; (iii) except with the Consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, of any component portion of a Partnership
Interest, such as the Capital Account, or rights to distributions, separate and apart from all other components of a Partnership Interest; (iv) in the event that such Transfer could cause either the Special Limited Partner or any Special
Limited Partner Affiliate to cease to comply with the REIT Requirements or to cease to qualify as a “qualified REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Code Section 856(i)(2)); (v) except with the Consent of the General Partner,
which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, if such Transfer could, based on the advice of counsel to the Partnership or the General Partner, cause a termination of the Partnership for U.S. federal or state income tax
purposes (except as a result of the Redemption (or acquisition by the Special Limited Partner) of all Partnership Common Units held by all Limited Partners (other than the Special Limited Partner)); (vi) if such Transfer could, based on the
advice of legal counsel to the Partnership or the General Partner, cause the Partnership to cease to be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (except as a result of the Redemption (or acquisition by the Special Limited
Partner) of all Partnership Common Units held by all Limited Partners (other than the Special Limited Partner)); (vii) if such Transfer would cause the Partnership to become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of
ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in ERISA Section 3(14)) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Code Section 4975(c));
(viii) if such Transfer could, based on the advice of legal counsel to the Partnership or the General Partner, cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor
Regulations Section 2510.3-101; (ix) if such Transfer requires the registration of such Partnership Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities laws (including, without
limitation, the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) or other non-U.S. securities laws (including Canadian provincial or territorial securities laws) or would constitute a non-exempt distribution pursuant to applicable provincial or state securities laws; (x) except with the Consent of the General Partner, if such Transfer could (1) be treated as effectuated through an
“established securities market” or a “secondary market” (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Code Section 7704 and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, (2) cause the Partnership to become a
“publicly traded partnership,” as such term is defined in Code Sections 469(k)(2) or 7704(b), (3) be in violation of Section 3.4.C(iii), or (4) cause the Partnership to fail to qualify for one or more of the Safe Harbors;
(xi) if such Transfer causes the Partnership (as opposed to the Special Limited Partner) to become a reporting company under the Exchange Act; (xii) if such Transfer subjects the Partnership to regulation under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or ERISA, each as amended. The General Partner shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, be permitted to take all action necessary to prevent the Partnership from being classified as a “publicly
traded partnership” under Code Section 7704. 
 E. Transfers pursuant to this Article 11 may only be made on the first day of
a fiscal quarter of the Partnership, unless the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, otherwise Consents.

 ARTICLE 12 

ADMISSION OF PARTNERS 
 Section 12.1
Admission of Successor General Partner. 
 A successor to all of the General Partner’s General Partner Interest pursuant
to a Transfer permitted by Section 11.2 hereof who is proposed to be admitted as a successor General Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner, effective immediately upon such Transfer. Upon any such Transfer and the
admission of any such transferee as a successor General Partner in accordance with this Section 12.1, the transferor General Partner shall cease to be a general partner of the Partnership without any separate Consent of the Limited Partners or
the consent or approval of any other Partners. Any such successor General Partner shall carry on the business and affairs of the Partnership without dissolution. In each case, the admission shall be subject to the successor General Partner executing
and delivering to the Partnership an acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect the admission of such Person as a General Partner. Upon any such Transfer, the
transferee shall become the successor General Partner for all purposes herein, and shall be vested with the powers and rights of the transferor General Partner, and shall be liable for all obligations and responsible for all duties of the General
Partner. Concurrently with, and as evidence of, the admission of a successor General Partner, the General Partner shall update the books and records of the Partnership to reflect the name, address and number and classes and/or series of Partnership
Units of such successor General Partner. 
 Section 12.2 Admission of Additional Limited Partners. 

A. A Person (other than an existing Partner) who makes a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in exchange for Partnership Interests and in
accordance with this Agreement shall be admitted to the Partnership as an Additional Limited Partner only upon furnishing to the General Partner (i) evidence of acceptance, in form and substance satisfactory to the General Partner, of all of
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the power of attorney granted in Section 2.4 hereof, (ii) a counterpart signature page to this Agreement executed by such Person and (iii) such other documents
or instruments as may be required in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner in order to effect such Person’s admission as an Additional Limited Partner. Concurrently with, and as evidence of, the admission of an Additional
Limited Partner, the General Partner shall update the books and records of the Partnership to reflect the name, address and number and classes and/or series of Partnership Interests of such Additional Limited Partner. 

B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.2, no Person shall be admitted as an Additional Limited Partner without
the Consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion. The admission of any Person as an Additional Limited Partner shall become effective on the date upon which the name of such Person is recorded on
the books and records of the Partnership, following the Consent of the General Partner to such admission and the satisfaction of all the conditions set forth in Section 12.2.A. 

C. If any Additional Limited Partner is admitted to the Partnership on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, then Net
Income, Net Loss, each item thereof and all other items of 

  
 60 








 
income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable among Holders for such Partnership Year shall be allocated among such Additional Limited Partner and all other Holders by taking into account
their varying interests during the Partnership Year in accordance with Code Section 706(d), using the “interim closing of the books” method or another permissible method selected by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute
discretion. Solely for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which an admission of any Additional Limited Partner occurs shall be allocated among all the Holders including such Additional Limited Partner,
in accordance with the principles described in Section 11.6.C hereof. All distributions of funds with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such admission shall be made solely to Partners and Assignees other than
the Additional Limited Partner, and all distributions of funds thereafter shall be made to all the Partners and Assignees including such Additional Limited Partner. 

D. Any Additional Limited Partner admitted to the Partnership that is an Affiliate of the Special Limited Partner shall be deemed to be a
“Special Limited Partner Affiliate” hereunder and shall be reflected as such on the books and records of the Partnership. 
 Section 12.3
Amendment of Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership. 
 For the admission to the Partnership of any Partner, the
General Partner shall take all steps necessary and appropriate under the Act to update the records of the Partnership and, if necessary, to prepare as soon as practical an amendment of this Agreement (and to update the books and records of the
Partnership) and, if required by law, shall prepare and file an amendment to the Certificate and may for this purpose exercise the power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof. 

Section 12.4 Limit on Number of Partners. 

Unless otherwise permitted by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, no Person shall be admitted to the Partnership as an
Additional Limited Partner if the effect of such admission would be to cause the Partnership to have a number of Partners that would cause the Partnership to become a reporting company under the Exchange Act. 

Section 12.5 Admission. 
 A
Person shall be admitted to the Partnership as a limited partner of the Partnership or a general partner of the Partnership only upon strict compliance, and not upon substantial compliance, with the requirements set forth in this Agreement for
admission to the Partnership as a Limited Partner or a General Partner. 
 ARTICLE 13 

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION 

Section 13.1 Dissolution. 

The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of Substituted Limited Partners or Additional Limited Partners or by the admission of
a successor General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon the withdrawal of the General Partner, any successor General Partner is hereby authorized to, and shall, continue the business and affairs of the Partnership without
dissolution. However, the Partnership shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon the first to occur of any of the following (each a “Liquidating Event”): 

A. an event of withdrawal, as defined in Section 17-402 of the Act (including, without
limitation, bankruptcy), or the withdrawal in violation of this Agreement, of the last remaining General Partner unless, within ninety (90) days after the withdrawal, a Majority in Interest of the Partners remaining agree in writing, in their
sole and absolute discretion, to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of the date of such withdrawal, of a successor General Partner; 

  
 61 








 B. an election to dissolve the Partnership made by the General Partner in its sole and absolute
discretion, with or without the Consent of the Limited Partners; 
 C. entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership pursuant
to the provisions of the Act; and 
 D. at any time that there are no limited partners of the Partnership unless the business of the
Partnership is continued in accordance with the Act. 
 Section 13.2 Winding Up. 

A. Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Partnership shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly
manner, liquidating its assets and satisfying the claims of its creditors and the Holders. After the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, no Holder shall take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up
of the Partnership’s business and affairs. The General Partner (or, in the event that there is no remaining General Partner or the General Partner has dissolved, become bankrupt within the meaning of the Act or ceased to operate, any Person
elected by a Majority in Interest of the Partners (the General Partner or such other Person being referred to herein as the “Liquidator”)) shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and termination of the Partnership and
shall take full account of the Partnership’s liabilities and property, and the Partnership property shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom (which may, to the extent
determined by the General Partner, include shares of stock in the Special Limited Partner) shall be applied and distributed in the following order: 

(1) First, to the satisfaction of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to creditors other than the Holders
(whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof); 
 (2) Second, to the satisfaction of all of
the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to the General Partner and the Special Limited Partner (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof), including, but not limited to, amounts due as reimbursements under
Section 7.4 hereof; 
 (3) Third, to the satisfaction of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to the
other Holders (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof); and 
 (4) Fourth, to the
Partners in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances, determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for all prior periods and the Partnership taxable year during which the liquidation occurs (other than those
made as a result of the liquidating distribution set forth in this Section 13.2.A(4)); provided, that if distributions pursuant to this clause (4) would result in the Partners receiving cumulative distributions from the Partnership that
differ from the distributions that would be required under Article 5, then the proceeds from liquidation shall be made in the manner prescribed in Article 5.

 The General Partner shall not receive any additional compensation for any services performed
pursuant to this Article 13 other than reimbursement of its expenses as set forth in Section 7.4. 
 B. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 13.2.A hereof that require liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to the termination of the Partnership, the Liquidator determines that an immediate
sale of part or all of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Holders, the Liquidator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those
necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership (including to those Holders as creditors) and/or distribute to the Holders, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2.A hereof, undivided
interests in such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the subjective good faith judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions in kind are in the best
interest of the Holders, and shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such
time. The Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt. 

C. If any Holder has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all
taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), except as otherwise agreed to by such Holder, such Holder shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Partnership with respect to such deficit, and
such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Partnership or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever. 
 D. In the sole and
absolute discretion of the Liquidator, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be applied and distributed in the order of priority set forth in Section 13.2.A may be: 

(1) distributed to a trust established for the Partnership for the purpose of liquidating Partnership assets, collecting
amounts owed to the Partnership, and paying any contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or of the General Partner arising out of or in connection with the Partnership and/or Partnership activities. The
assets of any such trust shall be applied and distributed, from time to time, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Liquidator, in the same proportions and amounts as would otherwise have been applied and distributed as set forth in
Section 13.2.A; or 
 (2) withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for Partnership liabilities (contingent,
conditional or unmatured) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Partnership, provided that such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be applied and distributed in the manner and order of priority set forth in
Section 13.2.A hereof as soon as practicable. 
 Section 13.3 Deemed Contribution and Distribution. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 13, in the event that the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), but no Liquidating Event has occurred, the Partnership’s Properties shall not be liquidated, the Partnership’s liabilities shall not be paid or discharged and the
Partnership’s affairs shall not be wound up. Instead, for U.S. federal income tax purposes the Partnership shall be deemed to have contributed all of its assets and liabilities to a new partnership in exchange for an interest in the new
partnership; and immediately thereafter, distributed Partnership Units to the Partners in the new partnership in accordance with their respective Capital Accounts in liquidation of the Partnership, and the new partnership is deemed to continue the
business of 

  
 63 








 
the Partnership. Nothing in this Section 13.3 shall be deemed to have constituted a Transfer to an Assignee as a Substituted Limited Partner without compliance with the provisions of
Section 11.4 or this Section 13.3. 
 Section 13.4 Rights of Holders. 

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and subject to the rights of any Holder of any Partnership Interest set forth in a Partnership
Unit Designation, (a) each Holder shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for the return of its Capital Contribution, (b) no Holder shall have the right or power to demand or receive property other than cash from the Partnership
and (c) no Holder shall have priority over any other Holder as to the return of its Capital Contributions, distributions or allocations. 

Section 13.5 Notice of Dissolution. 

In the event that a Liquidating Event occurs, the General Partner shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, provide written notice
thereof to each Holder and, in the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion or as required by the Act, to all other parties with whom the Partnership regularly conducts business (as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the
General Partner), and the General Partner may publish notice thereof in a newspaper of general circulation in each place in which the Partnership regularly conducts business (as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner).

 Section 13.6 Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership. 

Upon the completion of the winding up of the Partnership, the Certificate shall be canceled in the manner required by the Act. 

Section 13.7 Reasonable Time for Winding-Up. 

A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding-up of the business and affairs of the
Partnership and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 13.2 hereof, in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding-up, and the provisions of this Agreement shall remain
in effect between and among the Partners during the period of winding up; provided, however, reasonable efforts shall be made to complete such winding-up within twenty-four (24) months after the adoption
of a plan of liquidation of the General Partner, as provided in Code Section 562(b)(1)(B), if necessary, in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner. 

ARTICLE 14 
 PROCEDURES
FOR ACTIONS AND CONSENTS 
 OF PARTNERS; AMENDMENTS; MEETINGS 

Section 14.1 Procedures for Actions and Consents of Partners. 

The actions requiring Consent of any Partner or Partners pursuant to this Agreement, including Section 7.3 hereof, or otherwise pursuant
to applicable law, are subject to the procedures set forth in this Article 14. 
 Section 14.2 Amendments. 

Amendments to this Agreement may be proposed by the General Partner or by Limited Partners holding twenty-five percent (25%) or more of
the Partnership Interests held by Limited Partners and shall 

  
 64 








 
be approved by the Consent of the General Partner and, except as set forth in Section 7.3.C and subject to Section 7.3.D and the rights of any Holder of any Partnership Interest set
forth in a Partnership Unit Designation, shall be approved by the Consent of the Limited Partners. Following such proposal, the General Partner shall submit to the Partners entitled to vote thereon any proposed amendment that, pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement, requires the consent, approval or vote of such Partners. The General Partner shall seek the consent, approval or vote of the Partners entitled to vote thereon on any such proposed amendment in accordance with Section 14.3
hereof. 
 Section 14.3 Actions and Consents of the Partners. 

A. Meetings of the Partners may be called only by the General Partner to transact any business that the General Partner determines. The call
shall state the nature of the business to be transacted. Notice of any such meeting shall be given to all Partners entitled to act at the meeting not less than seven (7) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the date of such meeting.
Partners may vote in person or by proxy at such meeting. Unless approval by a different number or proportion of the Partners is required by this Agreement, the Consent of the General Partner and the Consent of the Limited Partners shall be required
to approve such proposal at a meeting of the Partners. Whenever the Consent of Partners is permitted or required under this Agreement, such Consent may be given at a meeting of Partners or in accordance with the procedure prescribed in
Section 14.3.B hereof. 
 B. Any action requiring the Consent of any Partner or group of Partners pursuant to this Agreement or that is
required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Partners may be taken without a meeting if a Consent in writing or by electronic transmission (as defined in Section 17-405(d) of the Act) setting
forth the action so taken or consented to is given by Partners whose Consent would be sufficient to approve such action at a meeting of the Partners. Such Consent may be in one instrument or in several instruments, and shall have the same force and
effect as the affirmative vote of such Partners at a meeting of the Partners. Such Consent shall be filed with the General Partner. An action so taken shall be deemed to have been taken at a meeting held on the effective date so certified. For
purposes of obtaining a Consent in writing or by electronic transmission, the General Partner may require a response within a reasonable specified time, but not less than fifteen (15) days, and failure to respond in such time period shall
constitute a Consent that is consistent with the General Partner’s recommendation with respect to the proposal; provided, however, that an action shall become effective at such time as requisite Consents are received even if prior
to such specified time. 
 C. Each Partner entitled to act at a meeting of the Partners may authorize any Person or Persons to act for it by
proxy on all matters in which a Partner is entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. Each proxy must be signed by the Partner or its attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy (or there is receipt of a proxy authorizing a later
date). Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Partner executing it, such revocation to be effective upon the Partnership’s receipt of written notice of such revocation from the Partner executing such proxy, unless such proxy
states that it is irrevocable and is coupled with an interest. 
 D. The General Partner may set, in advance, a record date for the purpose
of determining the Partners (i) entitled to Consent to any action, (ii) entitled to receive notice of any meeting of the Partners or (iii) in order to make a determination of Partners for any other proper purpose. Such date, in any
case, shall not be prior to the close of business on the day the record date is fixed and shall be not more than ninety (90) days and, in the case of a meeting of the Partners, not less than five (5) days, before the date on which the
meeting is to be held. If no record date is fixed, the record date for the determination of Partners entitled to notice of a meeting of the Partners shall be at the close of business on the day on which the notice of the meeting is sent, and the
record date for any other determination of Partners shall 

  
 65 








 
be the effective date of such Partner action, distribution or other event. When a determination of the Partners entitled to Consent at any meeting of the Partners has been made as provided in
this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof. 
 E. Each meeting of Partners shall be conducted by the General
Partner or such other Person as the General Partner may appoint pursuant to such rules for the conduct of the meeting as the General Partner or such other Person deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion. Without limitation, meetings of
Partners may be conducted in the same manner as meetings of the Special Limited Partner’s stockholders and may be held at the same time as, and as part of, the meetings of the Special Limited Partner’s stockholders. 

ARTICLE 15 
 GENERAL
PROVISIONS 
 Section 15.1 Redemption Rights of Qualifying Parties. 

A. [Subject to any applicable Restricted Period,][A] [a] Qualifying Party shall have the right (subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein) to require the Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the Partnership Common Units held by such Tendering Party (Partnership Common Units that have in fact been tendered for redemption being hereafter referred to as “Tendered
Units”) in exchange (a “Redemption”) for the Cash Amount payable on the Specified Redemption Date. [The Partnership may, in the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion, redeem Tendered Units at the request of
the Holder thereof prior to the end of the applicable Restricted Period (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) (a “Special Redemption”); provided, however, that the General Partner first receives a
legal opinion to the same effect as the legal opinion described in Section 15.1.G(4) of this Agreement.] Any Redemption shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the General Partner and the Special Limited Partner by
the Qualifying Party when exercising the Redemption right (the “Tendering Party”). The Partnership’s obligation to effect a Redemption, however, shall not arise or be binding against the Partnership until the earlier of
(i) the date the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, notifies the Tendering Party that the Partnership has declined to elect to require the Special Limited Partner to acquire some or all of the Tendered Units under
Section 15.1.B hereof following receipt of a Notice of Redemption and (ii) the Business Day following the Cut-Off Date. In the event of a Redemption, the Cash Amount shall be delivered as a certified
or bank check payable to the Tendering Party or, in the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion, in immediately available funds, in each case, on or before the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date on which the General
Partner receives a Notice of Redemption from the Tendering Party. 
 B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15.1.A hereof, on or
before the close of business on the Cut-Off Date, the Partnership may, in the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion, elect to require the Special Limited Partner to acquire some or all (such
percentage being referred to as the “Applicable Percentage”) of the Tendered Units from the Tendering Party in exchange for REIT Shares. If the Partnership elects to require the Special Limited Partner to acquire some or all of the
Tendered Units pursuant to this Section 15.1.B, the Partnership shall give written notice thereof to the Tendering Party on or before the close of business on the Cut-Off Date. If the Partnership elects
to require the Special Limited Partner to acquire any of the Tendered Units for REIT Shares, the Special Limited Partner shall issue and deliver such REIT Shares to the Tendering Party pursuant to the terms of this Section 15.1.B, in which case
(1) the Special Limited Partner shall assume directly the obligation with respect thereto and shall satisfy the Tendering Party’s exercise of its Redemption right with respect to such Tendered Units and (2) such transaction shall be
treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a transfer by the Tendering Party of such Tendered Units to the Special Limited Partner in exchange for the REIT Shares Amount. If the Partnership so elects, on the Specified Redemption Date, the
Tendering Party 

  
 66 








 
shall sell such number of the Tendered Units to the Special Limited Partner in exchange for a number of REIT Shares equal to the product of the REIT Shares Amount and the Applicable Percentage.
The Tendering Party shall submit (i) such information, certification or affidavit as the Special Limited Partner may reasonably require in connection with the application of the REIT Share Ownership Limit to any such acquisition and
(ii) such written representations, investment letters, legal opinions or other instruments necessary, in the Special Limited Partner’s view, to effect compliance with the Securities Act. In the event of an election by the Partnership to
require the Special Limited Partner to purchase the Tendered Units pursuant to this Section 15.1.B, the Tendering Party shall no longer have the right to cause the Partnership to effect a Redemption of such Tendered Units and, upon notice to
the Tendering Party by the Partnership given on or before the close of business on the Cut-Off Date that the Partnership has elected to require the Special Limited Partner to acquire some or all of the
Tendered Units pursuant to this Section 15.1.B, the obligation of the Partnership to effect a Redemption of the Tendered Units as to which the General Partner’s notice relates shall not accrue or arise. A number of REIT Shares equal to the
product of the Applicable Percentage and the REIT Shares Amount, if applicable, shall be delivered by the Special Limited Partner as duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable REIT Shares
and, if applicable, Rights, free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction, other than the REIT Share Ownership Limit, the Securities Act and relevant state securities or “blue sky” laws. Neither any Tendering Party whose Tendered
Units are acquired by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 15.1.B, any Partner, any Assignee nor any other interested Person shall have any right to require or cause the Special Limited Partner to register, qualify or list any
REIT Shares owned or held by such Person, whether or not such REIT Shares are issued pursuant to this Section 15.1.B, with the SEC, with any state securities commissioner, department or agency, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or
with any stock exchange; provided, however, that this limitation shall not be in derogation of any registration or similar rights granted pursuant to any other written agreement between the Special Limited Partner and any such Person.
Notwithstanding any delay in such delivery, the Tendering Party shall be deemed the owner of such REIT Shares and Rights for all purposes, including, without limitation, rights to vote or consent, receive dividends, and exercise rights, as of the
Specified Redemption Date. REIT Shares delivered upon an acquisition of the Tendered Units by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 15.1.B may contain such legends regarding restrictions under the Securities Act and applicable
state securities laws as the Special Limited Partner in good faith determines to be necessary or advisable in order to ensure compliance with such laws. 

C. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15.1.A and 15.1.B hereof, the Tendering Parties shall have no rights under this Agreement
that would otherwise be prohibited by the Special Limited Partner Charter and shall have no rights to require the Partnership to redeem Tendered Units or require the Special Limited Partner to acquire Tendered Units if such a redemption or the
acquisition of such Tendered Units by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof would cause any Person to violate the REIT Share Ownership Limit. To the extent that any attempted Redemption or acquisition of the Tendered
Units by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof would be in violation of this Section 15.1.C, to the fullest extent permitted by law, it shall be null and void ab initio, and the Tendering Party shall not
acquire any rights or economic interests in REIT Shares otherwise deliverable by the Special Limited Partner under Section 15.1.B hereof or cash otherwise payable under Section 15.1.A hereof. 

D. If the Partnership does not elect to require the Special Limited Partner to acquire the Tendered Units pursuant to Section 15.1.B
hereof: 
 (1) The Partnership may, in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner, elect to raise funds for the
payment of the Cash Amount either (a) by requiring that the Special Limited Partner contribute to the Partnership funds from the proceeds of a sale (including by way of a registered public offering) by the Special Limited Partner of REIT Shares
sufficient to 

  
 67 








 
purchase the Tendered Units or (b) from any other sources (including, but not limited to, the sale of any Property and the incurrence of additional Debt) available to the Partnership. The
Special Limited Partner shall make a Capital Contribution of any such amounts to the Partnership in exchange for additional Partnership Units, and the Partnership is hereby authorized from time to time to issue such additional Partnership Units in
consideration therefor without any further act, approval or vote of any Partner or other Persons. Any such contribution shall entitle the Special Limited Partner to an equitable Percentage Interest adjustment. 

(2) If the Cash Amount is not paid on or before the Specified Redemption Date, interest shall accrue with respect to the Cash
Amount from the day after the Specified Redemption Date to and including the date on which the Cash Amount is paid at a rate equal to the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from time to
time in the Wall Street Journal (but not higher than the maximum lawful rate). 
 E. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15.1.B
hereof, the Special Limited Partner shall not acquire any Tendered Units in exchange for REIT Shares if such exchange would be prohibited under the Special Limited Partner Charter or result in any violation of the REIT Share Ownership Limit. 

F. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but subject to Section 15.1.C hereof), with respect to any Redemption (or any tender
of Partnership Common Units for Redemption if the Tendered Units are acquired by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof) pursuant to this Section 15.1: 

(1) All Partnership Common Units acquired by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof shall
automatically, and without further action required, be converted into and deemed to be a Special Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest comprised of the same number of Partnership Common Units. 

(2) Subject to the REIT Share Ownership Limit, no Tendering Party may effect a Redemption for less than one thousand
(1,000) Partnership Common Units or, if such Tendering Party holds (as a Limited Partner or, economically, as an Assignee) less than one thousand (1,000) Partnership Common Units, all of the Partnership Common Units held by such Tendering
Party, without, in each case, the Consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion. 

(3) If (i) a Tendering Party surrenders its Tendered Units during the period after the Partnership Record Date with
respect to a distribution and before the record date established by the Special Limited Partner for a distribution to its stockholders of some or all of its portion of such Partnership distribution, and (ii) the Partnership elects to require
the Special Limited Partner to acquire any of such Tendered Units in exchange for REIT Shares pursuant to Section 15.1.B, such Tendering Party shall pay to the Special Limited Partner on the Specified Redemption Date an amount in cash equal to
the portion of the Partnership distribution in respect of the Tendered Units exchanged for REIT Shares, insofar as such distribution relates to the same period for which such Tendering Party would receive a distribution in respect of such REIT
Shares. 
 (4) The consummation of such Redemption (or an acquisition of Tendered Units by the Special Limited Partner
pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof, as the case may be) shall be subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period, if any, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. 

(5) The Tendering Party shall continue to own (subject, in the case of an Assignee, to the provisions of Section 11.5
hereof) all Partnership Common Units subject to any Redemption, and be treated as a Limited Partner or an Assignee, as applicable, with respect to such Partnership Common Units for all purposes of this Agreement, until such Partnership Common Units
are either paid for by the Partnership pursuant to Section 15.1.A hereof or transferred to the Special Limited Partner and paid for, by the delivery of the REIT Shares, pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof on the Specified Redemption Date.
Until a Specified Redemption Date and an acquisition of the Tendered Units by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof, the Tendering Party shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Special Limited Partner with respect
to the REIT Shares deliverable in connection with such acquisition. 

  
 68 








 G. In connection with an exercise of Redemption rights pursuant to this Section 15.1, except
as otherwise Consented to by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, the Tendering Party shall submit the following to the General Partner, in addition to the Notice of Redemption: 

(1) A written affidavit, dated the same date as the Notice of Redemption, (a) disclosing the actual and constructive
ownership, as determined for purposes of Code Sections 856(a)(6) and 856(h), of REIT Shares by (i) such Tendering Party and (ii) to the best of their knowledge any Related Party and (b) representing that, after giving effect to
the Redemption or an acquisition of the Tendered Units by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof, neither the Tendering Party nor to the best of their knowledge any Related Party will own REIT Shares in violation of the
REIT Share Ownership Limit; 
 (2) A written representation that neither the Tendering Party nor to the best of their
knowledge any Related Party has any intention to acquire any additional REIT Shares prior to the closing of the Redemption or an acquisition of the Tendered Units by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof on the Specified
Redemption Date; 
 (3) An undertaking to certify, at and as a condition to the closing of (i) the Redemption or
(ii) the acquisition of the Tendered Units by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof on the Specified Redemption Date, that either (a) the actual and constructive ownership of REIT Shares by the Tendering Party
and to the best of their knowledge any Related Party remain unchanged from that disclosed in the affidavit required by Section 15.1.G(1) or (b) after giving effect to the Redemption or an acquisition of the Tendered Units by the Special
Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof, neither the Tendering Party nor to the best of their knowledge any Related Party shall own REIT Shares in violation of the REIT Share Ownership Limit; and 

(4) In connection with any Special Redemption, the Special Limited Partner shall have the right to receive an opinion of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to it to the effect that the proposed Special Redemption will not cause the Partnership, the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner to violate any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to
the Special Redemption, the issuance and sale of the Tendered Units to the Tendering Party or the issuance and sale of REIT Shares to the Tendering Party pursuant to the Section 15.1.B of this Agreement. 

Section 15.2 Addresses and Notice. 

Any notice, demand, request or report required or permitted to be given or made to a Partner or Assignee under this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given or made when delivered in person or when sent by first class United States mail or by other means of written or electronic 

  
 69 








 
communication (including by telecopy, facsimile, electronic mail or commercial courier service) to the Partner or Assignee at the address set forth in the books and records of the Partnership or
such other address of which the Partner or Assignee shall notify the General Partner in accordance with this Section 15.2. 
 Section 15.3

 Section 15.7 Waiver. 

A. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no failure by any party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement or
condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof shall constitute waiver of any such breach or any other covenant, duty, agreement or condition. 

B. The restrictions, conditions and other limitations on the rights and benefits of the Limited Partners contained in this Agreement, and the
duties, covenants and other requirements of performance or notice by the Limited Partners, are for the benefit of the Partnership and, except for an obligation to pay money to the Partnership, may be waived or relinquished by the General Partner, in
its sole and absolute discretion, on behalf of the Partnership in one or more instances from time to time and at any time; provided, however, that any such waiver or relinquishment may not be made if it would have the effect of
(i) creating liability for any other Limited Partner, (ii) causing the Partnership to cease to qualify as a limited partnership, (iii) reducing the amount of cash otherwise distributable to the Limited Partners (other than any such
reduction that affects all of the Limited Partners holding the same class or series of Partnership Units on a uniform or pro rata basis, if approved by a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners holding such class or series of Partnership
Units), (iv) resulting in the classification of the Partnership as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (v) violating the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any
state “blue sky” or other securities laws; and provided, further, that any waiver relating to compliance with the REIT Share Ownership Limit or other restrictions in the Special Limited Partner Charter shall be made and shall
be effective only as provided in the Special Limited Partner Charter.

that the General Partner, on its own behalf and/or on behalf of the Partnership, without the approval of any Limited Partner, may enter into side letters or similar written agreements with Limited Partners that are not Affiliates of the General
Partner, executed contemporaneously with the admission of such Limited Partner to the Partnership, which have the effect of establishing rights under, or altering or supplementing, the terms hereof, as negotiated with such Limited Partner and which
the General Partner in its sole discretion deems necessary, desirable or appropriate. The parties hereto agree that any terms, conditions or provisions contained in such side letters or similar written agreements with a Limited Partner shall govern

 71 








 Section 15.12 Limitation to Preserve REIT Status. 

Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, to the extent that the amount to be paid, credited, distributed or reimbursed by the
Partnership to any REIT Partner or its officers, directors, employees or agents, whether as a reimbursement, fee, expense or indemnity (a “REIT Payment”), would constitute gross income to the REIT Partner for purposes of Code
Section 856(c)(2) or Code Section 856(c)(3), then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the amount of such REIT Payments, as selected by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion from among items of
potential distribution, reimbursement, fees, expenses and indemnities, shall be reduced for any Partnership Year so that the REIT Payments, as so reduced, for or with respect to such REIT Partner shall not exceed the lesser of: 

(i) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) four and nine-tenths percent (4.9%) of the REIT Partner’s
total gross income (but excluding the amount of any REIT Payments and amounts excluded from gross income pursuant to Code Section 856(c)(5)(G)) for the Partnership Year that is described in subsections (A) through (I) of Code
Section 856(c)(2) over (b) the amount of gross income (within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(2)) derived by the REIT Partner from sources other than those described in subsections (A) through (I) of Code
Section 856(c)(2) (but not including the amount of any REIT Payments and amounts excluded from gross income pursuant to Code Section 856(c)(5)(G)); or 

(ii) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) twenty-four percent (24%) of the REIT Partner’s total gross
income (but excluding the amount of any REIT Payments and amounts excluded from gross income pursuant to Code Section 856(c)(5)(G)) for the Partnership Year that is described in subsections (A) through (I) of Code
Section 856(c)(3) over (b) the amount of gross income (within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(3)) derived by the REIT Partner from sources other than those described in subsections (A) through (I) of Code
Section 856(c)(3) (but not including the amount of any REIT Payments and amounts excluded from gross income pursuant to Code Section 856(c)(5)(G)); 

provided, however, that REIT Payments in excess of the amounts set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above may be made if the General Partner, as
a condition precedent, obtains an opinion of tax counsel that the receipt of such excess amounts should not adversely affect the REIT Partner’s ability to qualify as a REIT. To the extent that REIT Payments may not be made in a Partnership Year
as a consequence of the limitations set forth in this Section 15.12, such REIT Payments shall carry over and shall be treated as arising in the following Partnership Year if such carry over does not adversely affect the REIT Partner’s
ability to qualify as a REIT, provided, however, that any such REIT Payment shall not be carried over more than three Partnership Years, and any such remaining payments shall no longer be due and payable. The purpose of the limitations contained in
this Section 15.12 is to prevent any REIT Partner from failing to qualify as a REIT under the Code by reason of such REIT Partner’s share of items, including distributions, reimbursements, fees, expenses or indemnities, receivable directly
or indirectly from the Partnership, and this Section 15.12 shall be interpreted and applied to effectuate such purpose. 
 Section 15.13 No
Partition. 
 No Partner nor any
successor-in-interest to a Partner shall have the right while this Agreement remains in effect to have any property of the Partnership partitioned, or to file a
complaint or institute any proceeding at law or in equity to have such property of the Partnership partitioned, and each Partner, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns hereby waives any such right. It is the intention of the Partners
that the rights of the parties hereto and their successors-in-interest to Partnership property, as among themselves, shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement,
and that the rights of the Partners and their respective successors-in-interest shall be subject to the limitations and restrictions as set forth in this Agreement.

 Section 15.14 No Third-Party Rights Created Hereby. 

The provisions of this Agreement are solely for the purpose of defining the interests of the Holders, inter se; and no other person, firm or
entity (i.e., a party who is not a signatory hereto or a permitted successor to such signatory hereto) shall have any right, power, title or interest by way of subrogation or otherwise, in and to the rights, powers, title and provisions of this
Agreement; provided, that Indemnitees are intended third-party beneficiaries of Section 7.7. No creditor or other third party having dealings with the Partnership shall have the right to enforce the right or obligation of any Partner to make
Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership or to pursue any other right or remedy hereunder or at law or in equity. None of the rights or obligations of the Partners herein set forth to make Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership
shall be deemed an asset of the Partnership for any purpose by any creditor or other third party, nor may any such rights or obligations be sold, transferred or assigned by the Partnership or pledged or encumbered by the Partnership to secure any
debt or other obligation of the Partnership or any of the Partners. 
 Section 15.15 No Rights as Stockholders. 

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon the Holders of Partnership Interests any rights whatsoever as
stockholders of the Special Limited Partner, including without limitation any right to receive dividends or other distributions made to stockholders of the Special Limited Partner or to vote or to consent or receive notice as stockholders in respect
of any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the Special Limited Partner or any other matter.

 SCHEDULE I 

LTIP UNITS 
 1.1
Designation. A class of Partnership Units in the Partnership designated as “LTIP Units” is hereby established. LTIP Units are intended to qualify as “profits interests” in the Partnership. The number of LTIP Units
that may be issued by the Partnership shall not be limited. 
 1.2 Vesting. LTIP Units may, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, be
issued subject to vesting, forfeiture and additional restrictions on transfer pursuant to the terms of an award, vesting or other similar agreement (a “Vesting Agreement”). The terms of any Vesting Agreement may be modified by the General
Partner from time to time in its sole discretion, subject to any restrictions on amendment imposed by the relevant Vesting Agreement or by the terms of any stock incentive plan pursuant to which the LTIP Units are issued, if applicable. LTIP Units
that have vested and are no longer subject to forfeiture under the terms of a Vesting Agreement are referred to as “Vested LTIP Units;” all other LTIP Units are referred to as “Unvested LTIP Units.” 

1.3 Forfeiture or Transfer of Unvested LTIP Units. Unless otherwise specified in the relevant Vesting Agreement, upon the occurrence of any
event specified in a Vesting Agreement resulting in either the forfeiture of any LTIP Units or the repurchase thereof by the Partnership at a specified purchase price, then, upon the occurrence of the circumstances resulting in such forfeiture or
repurchase by the Partnership, the relevant LTIP Units shall immediately, and without any further action, be treated as cancelled and no longer outstanding for any purpose. Unless otherwise specified in the relevant Vesting Agreement, no
consideration or other payment shall be due with respect to any LTIP Units that have been forfeited; provided that with respect to any distribution declared with a record date prior to the effective date of such forfeiture, such forfeited
LTIP Units shall be included in calculating the applicable Holder’s Percentage Interest in accordance with Article 5 of the Partnership Agreement. 

1.4 Legend. Any certificate evidencing an LTIP Unit shall bear an appropriate legend indicating that additional terms, conditions and
restrictions on transfer, including without limitation provisions set forth in the Vesting Agreement, apply to the LTIP Unit. 
 1.5
Adjustments. If an LTIP Unit Adjustment Event (as defined below) occurs, then the General Partner shall make a corresponding adjustment to the LTIP Units to maintain the same correspondence between Partnership Common Units and LTIP
Units as existed prior to such LTIP Unit Adjustment Event. The following shall be “LTIP Unit Adjustment Events:” (A) the Partnership makes a distribution on all outstanding Partnership Common Units in Partnership Units, (B) the
Partnership subdivides the outstanding Partnership Common Units into a greater number of Partnership Units or combines the outstanding Partnership Common Units into a smaller number of Partnership Units, or (C) the Partnership issues any
Partnership Units in exchange for outstanding Partnership Common Units by way of a reclassification or recapitalization. If more than one LTIP Unit Adjustment Event occurs, the adjustment to the LTIP Units need be made only once using a single
formula that takes into account each and every LTIP Unit Adjustment Event as if all LTIP Unit Adjustment Events occurred simultaneously. If the Partnership takes an action affecting the Partnership Common Units other than actions specifically
described above as LTIP Unit Adjustment Events and in the opinion of the General Partner such action would require an adjustment to the LTIP Units to maintain the correspondence between Partnership Common Units and LTIP Units as it existed prior to
such action, the General Partner shall make such adjustment to the LTIP Units, to the extent permitted by law and by the terms of any Vesting Agreement or stock incentive plan pursuant to which the LTIP Units have been issued, in such manner and at
such time as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may determine to be appropriate under the circumstances to maintain such correspondence. If an adjustment is made to the LTIP Units as herein


  
 B-1 








 
provided, the Partnership shall promptly file in the books and records of the Partnership an officer’s certificate setting forth such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring
such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment absent manifest error. Promptly after filing such certificate, the Partnership shall mail or otherwise provide notice to each Holder of LTIP Units
setting forth the adjustment to his or her LTIP Units and the effective date of such adjustment. 
 1.6 Right to Convert LTIP Units into Partnership
Common Units. 
 (a) Subject to the expiration of any applicable LTIP Unit Restricted Period (as defined below), a
Holder of LTIP Units shall have the right (the “LTIP Unit Conversion Right”), at his or her option, at any time to convert all or a portion of his or her Vested LTIP Units into a number (or fraction thereof) of fully paid and non-assessable Partnership Common Units, giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 1.5 of this Schedule I equal to the LTIP Conversion Factor (as defined below). No LTIP Units shall be
convertible by the Holder thereof pursuant to this Section 1.6 of Schedule I prior to the expiration of a twenty-four month period (the “LTIP Unit Restricted Period”) ending on the day before the first twenty-four month anniversary of
such Holder’s becoming a Holder of such LTIP Units; provided, however, that the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, shorten or lengthen the LTIP Unit Restricted Period applicable to any LTIP Units by written agreement with
the Holder thereof to a period of shorter or longer than twenty-four (24) months, without the consent of any other Partner and such written agreement shall govern the LTIP Unit Restricted Period with respect to such LTIP Units notwithstanding
anything otherwise to the contrary herein. Holders of LTIP Units shall not have the right to convert Unvested LTIP Units into Partnership Common Units until they become Vested LTIP Units; provided, however, that when a Holder of LTIP Units is
notified of the expected occurrence of an event that will cause his or her Unvested LTIP Units to become Vested LTIP Units, and subject to the expiration of any applicable LTIP Unit Restricted Period, such Person may give the Partnership an LTIP
Unit Conversion Notice conditioned upon and effective as of the time of vesting, and such LTIP Unit Conversion Notice, unless subsequently revoked by the Holder of the LTIP Units, shall be accepted by the Partnership subject to such condition.
“LTIP Conversion Factor” shall mean the quotient of (i) the Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to the LTIP Unit being converted as of the date of conversion, divided by (ii) the Common Unit Economic Balance as of the
date of conversion, provided that if the Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to an LTIP Unit has at any time reached an amount equal to the Common Unit Economic Balance determined as of such time, the LTIP Conversion Factor for such LTIP
Unit shall be equal to one (1) (except to the extent of adjustments (if any) to the LTIP Conversion Factor made pursuant to Section 1.5 of this Schedule I). 

(b) In order to exercise his or her LTIP Unit Conversion Right, a Holder of LTIP Units shall deliver a notice (an “LTIP
Unit Conversion Notice”) in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to a date (the “LTIP Unit Conversion Date”) specified in such LTIP Unit Conversion Notice. Each Holder of LTIP Units
covenants and agrees with the Partnership that all Vested LTIP Units to be converted pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall be free and clear of all liens. 

1.7 Forced Conversion by the Partnership into Partnership Common Units. 

(a) The Partnership may cause LTIP Units to be converted (a “LTIP Unit Forced Conversion”) into Partnership Common
Units at any time so long as the applicable Holder thereof receives in respect of each LTIP Unit so converted a number (or fraction thereof) of fully paid 

  
 2 








 
and non-assessable Partnership Common Units equal to the greater of (x) the LTIP Conversion Factor for such LTIP Unit (giving effect to all
adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 1.5 of this Schedule I) and (y) one (1). 
 (b) In order to exercise
its right to cause an LTIP Unit Forced Conversion, the Partnership shall deliver a notice (a “LTIP Unit Forced Conversion Notice”) in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto to the applicable Holder not less than 10 nor more than 60 days
prior to the LTIP Unit Conversion Date specified in such LTIP Unit Forced Conversion Notice. A Forced LTIP Unit Conversion Notice shall be provided in the manner in which notices are generally to be provided in accordance with the Partnership
Agreement. Each Holder of LTIP Units covenants and agrees with the Partnership that all LTIP Units to be converted pursuant to this Section 1.7 of this Schedule I shall be free and clear of all liens. 

1.8 Conversion Procedures. Subject to any redemption of Partnership Common Units to be received upon the conversion of Vested LTIP Units
pursuant to Section 1.11 of this Schedule I, a conversion of Vested LTIP Units for which the Holder thereof has given an LTIP Unit Conversion Notice or for which the Partnership has given a LTIP Unit Forced Conversion Notice shall occur
automatically after the close of business on the applicable LTIP Unit Conversion Date without any action on the part of such Holder of LTIP Units, as of which time such Holder of LTIP Units shall be credited on the books and records of the
Partnership with the issuance as of the opening of business on the next day of the number of Partnership Common Units issuable upon such conversion. After the conversion of LTIP Units as aforesaid, the Partnership shall deliver to such Holder of
LTIP Units, upon his or her written request, a certificate certifying the number of Partnership Common Units and remaining LTIP Units, if any, held by such Person immediately after such conversion. 

1.9 Treatment of Capital Account. For purposes of making future allocations under the Partnership Agreement, reference to a Partner’s
portion of its Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to his or her LTIP Units shall exclude, after the date of conversion of any of its LTIP Units, the portion of such Partner’s Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to the
converted LTIP Units. 
 1.10 Mandatory Conversion in Connection with a Capital Transaction. 

(a) If the Partnership or the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner shall be a party to any transaction (including
without limitation a merger, consolidation, unit exchange, self tender offer for all or substantially all Partnership Common Units or other business combination or reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets,
but excluding any transaction which constitutes an LTIP Unit Adjustment Event) as a result of which Partnership Common Units shall be exchanged for or converted into the right, or the Holders of Partnership Common Units shall otherwise be entitled,
to receive cash, securities or other property or any combination thereof (any such transaction being referred to herein as a “Capital Transaction”), then the General Partner shall, immediately prior to the consummation of the Capital
Transaction, exercise its right to cause an LTIP Unit Forced Conversion with respect to any and all LTIP Units that have become Vested LTIP Units and the Book-Up Target of which is zero, taking into account
any allocations that occur in connection with the Capital Transaction or that would occur in connection with the Capital Transaction if the assets of the Partnership were sold at the Capital Transaction price or, if applicable, at a value determined
by the General Partner in good faith using the value attributed to the Partnership Common Units in the context of the Capital Transaction (in which case the LTIP Unit Conversion Date shall be the effective date of the Capital Transaction and the
conversion shall occur immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Capital Transaction). 

  
 3 








 (b) In anticipation of such LTIP Unit Forced Conversion and the consummation of
the Capital Transaction, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Holder of LTIP Units to be afforded the right to receive in connection with such Capital Transaction in consideration for the Partnership Common Units
into which his or her LTIP Units will be converted the same kind and amount of cash, securities and other property (or any combination thereof) receivable upon the consummation of such Capital Transaction by a Holder of the same number of
Partnership Common Units, assuming such Holder of Partnership Common Units is not a Person with which the Partnership consolidated or into which the Partnership merged or which merged into the Partnership or to which such sale or transfer was made,
as the case may be (a “Constituent Person”), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person. In the event that Holders of Partnership Common Units have the opportunity to elect the form or type of consideration to be received upon consummation of
the Capital Transaction, prior to such Capital Transaction the General Partner shall give prompt written notice to each Holder of LTIP Units of such election, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to afford such holders the right to elect,
by written notice to the General Partner, the form or type of consideration to be received upon conversion of each LTIP Unit held by such Holder into Partnership Common Units in connection with such Capital Transaction. If a Holder of LTIP Units
fails to make such an election, such Holder (and any of its transferees) shall receive upon conversion of each LTIP Unit held by him or her (or by any of his or her transferees) the same kind and amount of consideration that a Holder of a
Partnership Common Unit would receive if such Holder of Partnership Common Units failed to make such an election. 
 (c)
Subject to the rights of the Partnership and the General Partner under the relevant Vesting Agreement and the terms of any stock incentive plan under which LTIP Units are issued, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
(i) cause the terms of any Capital Transaction to be consistent with the provisions of this Section 1.10, and (ii) in the event LTIP Units are not converted into Partnership Common Units in connection with the Capital Transaction
(including pursuant to Section 1.10(a) above), but subject to the rights of the General Partner and the Partnership set forth in Section 1.13(ii) below to the extent that they can act without the consent of Holders of LTIP Units, enter into an
agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of those Holders of LTIP Units whose LTIP Units will not be converted into Partnership Common Units in connection with the Capital Transaction that, to the extent
not incompatible with the interests of the Partnership Common Unitholders and/or the shareholders of the Special Limited Partner, (A) contains reasonable provisions designed to allow such Holders to subsequently convert, redeem or exchange
their LTIP Units, if and when eligible for conversion, redemption or exchange into securities as comparable as reasonably possible under the circumstances to the Partnership Common Units, and (B) preserves as far as reasonably possible under
the circumstances the distribution, special allocation, conversion, and other rights of such Holders. 
 1.11 Redemption Right of LTIP Unit Limited
Partners. 
 (a) LTIP Units will not be redeemable at the option of the Partnership; provided, however, that the
foregoing shall not prohibit the Partnership (i) from repurchasing LTIP Units from the Holder thereof if and to the extent that such Holder agrees to sell such LTIP Units or (ii) from exercising the right to cause a LTIP Unit Forced
Conversion. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Partnership Common Units received by a LTIP Unit Limited Partner upon conversion of LTIP Units, including a LTIP Unit Forced Conversion, the Partnership shall have the right to redeem such
Partnership Common Units in accordance with Section 8.6 of the Partnership Agreement. 

  
 4 








 (b) Except as otherwise set forth in the relevant Vesting Agreement or other
separate agreement entered into between the Partnership and a LTIP Unit Limited Partner, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein or in the Partnership Agreement, on or at any time after the applicable LTIP Unit Conversion Date each
LTIP Unit Limited Partner will have the same right (and subject to the same terms and conditions and to be effected in the same manner) to require the Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the Partnership Common Units into which such LTIP Unit
Limited Partner’s LTIP Units were converted as the other Holders of Partnership Common Units in accordance with Article 15 of the Partnership Agreement. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but subject to Section 1.6 of this Schedule I), a Holder of
LTIP Units may deliver a Notice of Redemption in accordance with Article 15 of the Partnership Agreement relating to Partnership Common Units that will be issued to such Holder upon conversion of LTIP Units into Partnership Common Units pursuant to
Section 1.6 of this Schedule I in advance of the LTIP Unit Conversion Date; provided, however, that the redemption of such Partnership Common Units by the Partnership shall in no event take place until the LTIP Unit Conversion Date. For
clarity, it is noted that the objective of this Section 1.11(c) is to put a Holder of LTIP Units in a position where, if such Holder wishes, the Partnership Common Units into which such Holder’s Vested LTIP Units will be converted can be
redeemed by the Partnership simultaneously with such conversion, with the further consequence that, if the General Partner elects to require the Special Limited Partner to assume the Partnership’s redemption obligation with respect to such
Partnership Common Units by delivering to such Holder REIT Shares rather than cash, then such Holder can have such REIT Shares issued to him or her simultaneously with the conversion of his or her Vested LTIP Units into Partnership Common Units. The
General Partner shall cooperate with a Holder of LTIP Units to coordinate the timing of the different events described in the foregoing sentence. 
 1.12
Voting Rights. Except as expressly provided in Section 1.13 of this Schedule I, Holders of LTIP Units shall not have the right to vote on any matter involving the Partnership, including with respect to any merger,
consolidation, combination or conversion of the Partnership, or any other matter that a limited partner might otherwise have the ability to vote on or consent with respect to under the Partnership Agreement, the Act, at law, in equity or otherwise.

 1.13 Special Approval Rights. The General Partner and/or the Partnership shall not, without the affirmative vote of Holders of more than
50% of the then outstanding LTIP Units affected thereby, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (voting separately as a class), take any action that would materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend, whether by
merger, consolidation or otherwise, the rights, powers or privileges of such LTIP Units, subject to the following exceptions and qualifications: (i) no separate consent of the Holders of LTIP Units will be required if and to the extent that any
such alteration, change, modification or amendment would, in a ratable and proportional manner, alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of the Partnership Common Units; (ii) a merger, consolidation or other business
combination or reorganization of the Partnership, the General Partner, the Special Limited Partner or any of their Affiliates shall not be deemed to materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of an LTIP
Unit (and the Holder of such LTIP Unit will not be entitled to any vote or consent with respect to such merger, consolidation or other business combination or reorganization in respect of such LTIP Unit) so long as either: (w) such LTIP Unit is
converted immediately prior to the effectiveness of the transaction into a number (or fraction thereof) of fully paid and non-assessable Partnership Common Units equal to the greater of (i) the LTIP
Conversion Factor for such LTIP Unit (giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 1.5 of this Schedule I) and (ii) one (1) (which Partnership Common Units, for the avoidance of doubt, may be unvested to the extent
the LTIP Unit so converted is not a Vested LTIP Unit); (x) the Holder of such LTIP Unit either will receive, or will have the right to elect to receive, in respect of such LTIP Unit 

  
 5 








 
an amount of cash, securities, or other property equal to the amount of cash, securities or other property that would be paid in respect of such LTIP Unit had it been converted into a Partnership
Common Unit (or fraction of a Partnership Common Unit, as applicable under the terms of such LTIP Unit) immediately prior to the transaction; (y) such LTIP Unit remains outstanding with its terms materially unchanged; or (z) if the
Partnership is not the surviving entity in such transaction, such LTIP Unit is exchanged for a security of the surviving entity with terms that are materially the same with respect to rights to allocations, distributions, redemption, conversion and
voting as such LTIP Unit; (iii) any creation or issuance of Partnership Interests (whether ranking junior to, on a parity with or senior to the LTIP Units in any respect), which either (x) does not require the consent of the Holders of
Partnership Common Units or (y) is authorized by the Holders of Partnership Common Units shall not be deemed to materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of the LTIP Units; and (iv) any waiver
by the Partnership or the General Partner of restrictions or limitations applicable to any outstanding LTIP Units with respect to any Holder or Holders thereof shall not be deemed to materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend the
rights, powers or privileges of the LTIP Units with respect to other Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, the General Partner in its sole discretion may waive any restrictions or limitations (including vesting restrictions or transfer restrictions)
applicable to any outstanding LTIP Units with respect to any Holder or Holders at any time and from time to time. Any such determination in the General Partner’s discretion in respect of such LTIP Units shall be final and binding. Such
determinations need not be uniform and may be made selectively among Holders of LTIP Units, whether or not such Holders are similarly situated, and shall not constitute the breach of any duty hereunder or otherwise existing at law, in equity or
otherwise. The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, as of or prior to the time when the action with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required will be taken or be effective, all outstanding LTIP Units shall have been converted
and/or redeemed, or provision is made for such redemption and/or conversion to occur as of or prior to such time. 
 1.15 Limited Partners’
Rights to Transfer. Subject to the terms of the relevant Vesting Agreement or other document pursuant to which LTIP Units are granted and except in connection with the exercise of its right of redemption pursuant to Section 1.11 of this
Schedule I, a Holder of LTIP Units may not transfer all or any portion of his or her LTIP Units, except, in the case of Vested LTIP Units, to the extent, and subject to the same restrictions, that a Holder of Partnership Common Units is entitled to
transfer Partnership Common Units pursuant to Section 11.3 of the Partnership Agreement. 
 1.16 Allocations and Distributions. 

(a) All distributions shall be made to Holders of LTIP Units in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 of the Partnership Agreement. 

(b) All allocations, including allocations of Net Income and Net Loss of the Partnership, special allocations and allocations upon final
liquidation, shall be made to Holders of LTIP Units in accordance with Article 6 of the Partnership Agreement.

 EXHIBIT A 

EXAMPLES REGARDING REIT SHARE ADJUSTMENT FACTOR 

For purposes of the following examples, it is assumed that (a) the REIT Share Adjustment Factor in effect on
                     is 1.0 and (b) on
                     (the “Partnership Record Date” for purposes of these examples), prior to the events described in the examples,
there are 100 REIT Shares issued and outstanding. 
 Example 1 

On the Partnership Record Date, the Special Limited Partner declares a dividend on its outstanding REIT Shares in REIT Shares. The amount of the dividend is
one REIT Share paid in respect of each REIT Share owned. Pursuant to Paragraph (i) of the definition of “REIT Share Adjustment Factor,” the REIT Share Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on the Partnership Record Date, effective
immediately after the stock dividend is declared, as follows: 
 1.0 * 200/100 = 2.0 

Accordingly, the REIT Share Adjustment Factor after the stock dividend is declared is 2.0. 

Example 2 
 On the Partnership Record Date, the Special
Limited Partner distributes options to purchase REIT Shares to all holders of its REIT Shares. The amount of the distribution is one option to acquire one REIT Share in respect of each REIT Share owned. The strike price is $4.00 a share. The Value
of a REIT Share on the Partnership Record Date is $5.00 per share. Pursuant to Paragraph (ii) of the definition of “REIT Share Adjustment Factor,” the REIT Share Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on the Partnership Record Date,
effective immediately after the options are distributed, as follows: 
 1.0 * (100 + 100)/(100 + [100 * $4.00/$5.00]) = 1.1111 

Accordingly, the REIT Share Adjustment Factor after the options are distributed is 1.1111. If the options expire or become no longer exercisable, then the
retroactive adjustment specified in Paragraph (ii) of the definition of “REIT Share Adjustment Factor” shall apply. 
 Example 3 

On the Partnership Record Date, the Special Limited Partner distributes assets to all holders of its REIT Shares. The amount of the distribution is one asset
with a fair market value (as determined by the General Partner) of $1.00 in respect of each REIT Share owned. It is also assumed that the assets do not relate to assets received by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to a pro rata distribution by
the Partnership. The Value of a REIT Share on the Partnership Record Date is $5.00 a share. Pursuant to Paragraph (iii) of the definition of “REIT Share Adjustment Factor,” the REIT Share Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on the
Partnership Record Date, effective immediately after the assets are distributed, as follows: 
 1.0 * $5.00/($5.00 – $1.00) =
1.25 
 Accordingly, the REIT Share Adjustment Factor after the assets are distributed is 1.25.

NOTICE OF ELECTION BY PARTNER TO CONVERT LTIP UNITS INTO PARTNERSHIP COMMON UNITS 

The undersigned holder of LTIP Units hereby irrevocably elects to convert the number of Vested LTIP Units in Invitation Homes Operating Partnership LP (the
“Partnership”) set forth below into Partnership Common Units in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Invitation Homes Operating Partnership LP, dated as of [●], 201[●], as
amended from time to time (the “ Agreement ”).
